Top 5 Wonderful Spots to Watch a Sunset
With a myriad of unobstructed viewing points and a spectacular mountainous backdrop, Vancouver offers ridiculously wonderful sunset watching.
Far be it from us to hog all the best spots to do so. We've listed five of the best. So check out the forecast for "sundown" and head out to watch Mother Nature's nightly swan song.
Sunset Beach
This aptly named beach at the intersection of Davie St. and Denman St. in the West End attracts an eclectic crowd every night at sundown, but is plenty big enough to accommodate everyone. Grab a blanket, get some take-out from one of the nearby restaurants, and take it all in.
Lighthouse Park
This little known park in West Vancouver has countless little rock outcroppings that jut out into Howe Sound and offer stunning views of the sunset. It's not too big, but you might want to bring a flashlight to get back to your car after watching Mother Nature's show. It is easily accessible off Marine Drive via Beacon Lane in West Vancouver, just east of Eagle Harbour.Pick a Patio
Many Vancouver restaurants take advantage of the surrounding beauty by offering outdoor seating on patios. A few are especially ideal for taking in a sunset while taking in a little dinner. The Boathouse and Milestones in English Bay are two of the best
Lookout! At Harbour Centre Tower
This attraction boasts an impressive 360 degree panoramic of Vancouver and the surrounding area from 42 floors up. At sunset, it also boasts one of the most stunning sights you are ever likely to see.
