Oh come on Vancouver Is Awesome, they couldn't have used something other than a stock photo that's clearly not from a Vancouver Beach??

I often feel so gross after going into the water at any beaches in Vancouver proper. Barnet Marine Park is my preferred spot to take a niiiiiiiice cold dip in the highest heat of summer.

Boundary Bay (Centennial Beach, Crescent Beach) is nice and clean.

It really helps the whole bay gets drained by tides daily.

Yup. Anything near False Creek is a literal toilet bowl.
