Top 5 Secret Spots to Smooch


What makes a good Make Out spot? Atmosphere, a view, seclusion, and as Hollywood would lead us to believe, easy access for werewolves and axe murderers. It's no surprise that our city, brimming with ambiance and vistas, is blessed with an abundance of great spots to smooch your loved one. And here are five of the best.

 


Cypress Mountain Look Out One

With a panoramic view of Vancouver and beyond, this spot provides the ideal backdrop for a first kiss. What's not to appreciate � the twinkling lights of the city, the shimmering ocean, the rare silence of the North Shore Mountains. It will make for a memorable romantic story that you can tell your kids especially if Crazy Ol' One Armed Cypress Joe stops by.


Sandy Cove Beach West Vancouver

This little beach nestled below Marine Drive is small and secluded � two very important things to look for in a 'make out' spot. It's like a math equation; Sandy Cove + a blanket + a bottle of $13 "champagne" + one sunset = one memorable, romantic evening.

 


The Public Pier at Lonsdale Quay

This new feature to Lower Lonsdale has quickly become the choice strolling spot for romantics on the North Shore. Grab a coffee at the Quay, take your sweetheart's hand and set off on a wonderful walk past yachts, tugboats and more.  At the end, you will encounter the beautiful skyline of Vancouver and the Lions Gate Bridge. It's the perfect photo for your holiday cards, if you're into that kind of thing.


Queen Elizabeth Park

Filled with nooks, crannies and little corners of secluded scenic wonderment, this glorious park off Cambie St. offers a cornucopia of romantic possibilities. Enjoy a gourmet meal at Season's in the Park, take in the underrated Bloedel Conservatory, even play a round of Pitch n' Putt, then steal away beneath a towering spruce or on a bench overlooking the city. And they say romance is dead!


The Balcony of the Hollywood Theatre � Vancouver

Go back to a bygone era at this venerable Vancouver landmark. Don't sit with the throngs down in the regular seating, sneak up to the balcony and watch second run Hollywood hits from there. Or don't watch the movie at all (wink, wink!) You'll be smooching in the same chairs your grandparents smooched in years ago! Your shoes will also be sticking to the same goop, too! Not many people know of this secluded balcony anymore � so let's keep it between us.
