Almost anywhere you look in Vancouver, you will find a view of the mountains or the ocean, it is truly a scenic and beautiful place to live.
General Information:
Vancouver is located in the southwest corner of Canada in the province of British Columbia, at about 49° Latitude and 123° Longitude, next to the Pacific Ocean.
Vancouver is surrounded by water on three sides and overlooked by the Coast Range - mountains that rise abruptly to more than 1,500 m. Its climate is one of the mildest in Canada. Temperatures average 3°C in January and 18°C in July. Vancouver's average annual precipitation is 1,219 mm. Most rainfall occurs in winter.
Note: bear with me as I build this Vancouver site, need to get more photos on CD
on the waters near White Rock, BC
A pathway follows along the beach and a bird sanctuary is also part of this lovely park.
The village of Crescent Beach is located just south of the mouth of the 'Nicomekl', where a bend in the river estuary reveals a marina that provides shelter for hundreds of boats. Next door, the nature preserve of 'Blackie's Spit' hosts dozens of species of resident and migratory birds, which may be observed from natural blinds atop the surrounding dyke's trails.
- Pros:Natural beauty, friendly people, parks galore
- Cons:rains alot, getting crowded
- In a nutshell:To know nature and beauty, Vancouver has it all

I pray that you are having a tremendous birthday. Have you not been to Cuba recently?
Thank you for the birthday greetings, I don't go on this site much and should delete some of photos etc. Haven't been to Cuba since 2007 but stay in touch with friends there. I will get back there some time, but busy living life here and with my boyfriend in Vermont.
sad to see how Vancouver treats the homeless......they are people in need whom happen to be down and out....what's next? taser them? Nothing would surprise me......such a sad commentary on this beautiful city
Nice tips!
I should come and visit you in Vancouver. I think that would be fun.
Nice Vancouver photos and show what I have missed when I was there 2 years ago. greetings.
Interesting and useful travel page. Greetings.
Excellant page and great phtographic coverage.
You've made me a little homesick...glad to see everything's still where I left it... :)
Your city looks great I've been to Canada but in Montreal,Toronto and Ottowa. I must say I really liked it!!
