Day 1: West Coast Seafood on Robson Street to English Bay for some Tranquility

On your first day in Vancouver take a nice long walk in the morning and head to Robson Street for some shopping. After visiting shops such as Roots Canada and American Eagle Outfitters, try out Joe Forte’s for some famous and fabulous BC fresh seafood. They feature steaks, award winning oysters, and all types of fish. They also have beer, spirits and wines for those who want a little refreshment.

Now it is time to take a walk down to English Bay and work off that excellent filling lunch. Tale a blanket with you and hang out and people watch for the afternoon. English bay is packed with people in the summer and you can also catch firework competitions in the week. It is an awesome experience to sit on English Bay beach in the evening and watch the sunset as well. Relax and breathe in the ocean air as you enjoy your first night in beautiful and scenic Vancouver, British Columbia.
