Nestled in the picturesque Kitsilano neighbourhood lies Jericho Beach, once revered as iy'a'l'mexw by the Squamish people. This stunning locale is a captivating blend of sun-kissed sands, state-of-the-art facilities, and Mother Nature's unparalleled beauty. Adjacent to the serene parkland and shimmering pond of Jericho Beach Park, this beach serves as a portal to aquatic escapades at the Jericho Sailing Centre. Quench your cravings at the concessions or discover the ideal spot for a tranquil picnic.
Come July, the beach vibrates with rhythmic melodies as the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, one of the Lower Mainland's premier music festivals, draws aficionados from every corner of the globe. Embrace the vastness of the shoreline during low tide, challenge pals to a riveting game of beach tennis, or showcase your skills at the beach volleyball nets.
And for a touch of whimsy, watch out for the enchanting wild bunnies hopping around! While these fluffy creatures promise a sprinkle of magic, remember: as tempting as it may be, do not handle or feed these feral fluffballs. Protecting BC's wildlife is essential, and feeding them can lead to hefty fines.
