January 2009

(North Vancouver): You have stayed in the heart of the city, in downtown Vancouver, and loved your visit to this vibrant city. For your next visit, you are thinking you want to discover some of the charming areas outside of the downtown core.  During your last visit you commented on the beautiful mountains just outside your hotel room window and you wondered "What's over there?" Well, it is time discover the charm and fun of Vancouver's North Shore.

Accommodation on the North Shore of Vancouver are varied and perfectly suited to any type of traveler. From cozy "bed and breakfasts" to economical motel-style properties, and hotels - even one on the waterfront - any travelers' needscan be met. Because Vancouver's North Shore is just across the bridge from downtown, visitors wanting to get back to the energy of the "city" can make a short jaunt to that restaurant enjoyed during the last Vancouver visit. Whether driving or taking public transportation, all downtown activities are minutes away. Hockey games, football games and the downtown theatres are all easily reached from the North Shore. The Sea Bus, or walk-on Ferry is a fun way to get from one shore to the other, giving visitors another view of this city's majestic setting, that being from the water.

But restaurants and shopping are plentiful on the North Shore. Park Royal is a delightful mall, spanning two sides of busy Marine Drive. Edgemont Village is filled with wonderful specialty shops and varied dining choices. Deep Cove is a precious jewel sitting on the edge of Indian Arm, an inlet reaching in past the city of Vancouver. Pubs, shops, canoeing, kayaking and quaint strolls are the order of the day in the Cove. For many guests on the shore, Lonsdale Quay is a pleasurable way to taste the local flavours and discover interesting collectables from Vancouver. One never has to leave Vancouver's North Shore for food, fun or entertainment.  It is all right here, right where nature lives.
