We wandered on this path after visiting Granville Island. It was a lovely day so we made the most of it. Some good city views and lots of people out doing their own thing - jogging, walking the dog etc. More

Thos os the creek you cross to get to Granville Island, but instead of dong that just walk along the creek, or sit and watch the moving scenery, lots of boaty things, a reall hive of activity and quite a few restaurants and bars to stop and refresh. More

Marvel at the boats and the architecture as you take your Aquabus tour up False Creek. Be prepared to drool at some of the condos you pass, and don't forget to drop into the Science Centre and Granville Island. You will love both! More

Riding on the little water taxis is relaxing and kind of sweet. You'll wish the trip was longer. More

Great calm water for walks around the sea wall. Ferries are too cute and a good way to see the creek or get to Granville Island. More

Nice relaxing area of Vancouver. Sit back and watch the water. Saw a seal swimming around. There are ferries for hire that can take you around the island for a reasonable price. More
