This scenic waterfront community is home to Vancouver’s largest public market.
False Creek which, as its name suggests, is not a creek at all (it’s an inlet) is home to Granville Island, which is not an island at all (it’s a peninsula). Got that?
One thing that is true of the largest attraction in the False Creek area is that Granville Island is one of the most successful former-industrial-park revitalizations in North America.
The community of False Creek—the waterfront area west from Cambie Street to Granville Street—is best seen from a seaside pathway that will take you right to Granville Island; here you’ll find such a dazzling array of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, wine, arts and crafts and entertainment.
You can’t miss it: Railspur Alley, a relatively less-travelled road on the Island, offers visitors a concentrated dose of textile, glass and jewellery shops designed to allow window shoppers to view the artisans working inside.
Don’t miss it: False Creek’s Sea Village, a community of floating houses, is best viewed from the window of the Aquabus ferry route from Granville Island to nearby Stamps’ Landing.

Did not see much of Vancouver, since I spent only two nights there, visiting newly discovered relatives! We went to Squamish to see the railway museum. I would love to come back and see more! | Sobe-A-Rush Sun Oct 2, 2005 10:39 UTC
