"Welcome to my hometown, Vancou ..." a Vancouver Travel Page by YanetT

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

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.
