Kitsilano Beach

Kitsilano Beach

Overview

Kitsilano Beach ("Kits Beach") is one of Vancouver's most popular urban beaches, on the south shore of English Bay. The spot faces northwest toward the North Shore mountains. It's a very busy beach in summer — kitesurfing is very limited due to crowds and municipal restrictions. Spot mainly for windsurfing and wingfoiling outside peak hours.
