Jericho Beach, a popular Vancouver beach, is located
west of the seaside neighbourhood of Kitsilano. It is surrounded by Jericho
Beach Park, a large grassy area with a pond, which is a good picnic destination.
When all the elements are right, fishing and a picnic at the Jericho Beach pier
makes for a perfect evening. Enjoy the long, sandy stretch with stunning views
of the North Shore Mountains and downtown core. It's also a great spot for
sailing, windsurfing, sea kayaking and beach volleyball.

Known for its naturally sandy beaches this park combines high activity choices
