Kitsilano Beach sits on English Bay beside the Seawall and Kitsilano Pool, with lifeguards in the main swim season, public washrooms, a concession, pay parking, and mobility equipment for beach access. Before swimming, check the flags on site and Vancouver Coastal Health's beach-water status, especially after rain or during hot summer stretches.
Spanish Banks Beach stretches along Northwest Marine Drive with three different planning zones: East and West for the main guarded beach services, and the Extension for dog access and kiteboarding. Low tide can put the water far offshore, so check tides, water quality, and parking before building the day around swimming.
