Kits Beach is best for Volleyball!

Kits Beach (as it is called by locals here) or Kitsilano Beach is one of Vancouver's best beaches! The Kitsilano salt water pool in this area is also a great attraction. Great for the younger crowd who love to flex their muscles and have a great game of Volleyball on the beach.

Taking into account its fabulous location offering great views of the city of Vancouver, Stanley Park, mountains and ocean, it is a great waterfront destination!

One of the truly outstanding features of Kits Beach however is not only its beauty but also its salt water pool! Kits pool at Kitsilano Beach is the longest salt water pool in Canada measuring a full 137 meters (150 Yards) or three times the size on an olympic size pool! Kits Pool is one of the few heated salt water pools in the world. It is also divided in three areas to accommodate everyone's taste. A roped off area for lap-swimmers (and do not get in their way, this is serious business!). A shallow section for families and their children and a deep area for adult swimming and frolicking.

Kits Beach seems to be the "it place" or "happening place" being dominated by the young adult crowd aged between 18-30. Possibly the most popular of all Vancouver beaches for beach sports such as sand volleyball with 7 courts! Tennis courts are also available not to mention room for some ever popular frisbee throwing! Not only that but they have upgraded the great basketball courts! Go ahead... work up a good sweat and then head for the water!

A very popular Vancouver or Kitsilano waterfront restaurant is The Kitsilano Boathouse Restaurant on this very beach offers beautiful views. There are also a number of other restaurants on the main street running along the beach that you may enjoy.
