I was out at the beach today working on the tan, and snapped these pics on the way home. It was gourgious out, summer is practically here. Some of these are random from the walk to my place and the beach, but most are along the seawall between the Granville & Burrard Street bridges.

Sunset Beach!

This quiet cove was empty during this pic, but that was a short lived window, many ppl were around all day, soaking up the sun. The bay was packed with sail boats and wind-surfers with their bright colours sails, and I even saw a cruise ship leaving.

I was working all day inside at granville and 13th and I was imagining the beaches packed with people.. but from your photos it looks quiet. Man, if I had the day off today I would have been down there for sure. Good thing I have your pics! :)

I found a nice cove to chill out at with not many people. Im sure English Bay beach would have been packed...this was at Sunset Beach. There were hoards of people walking the seawall, and laying on the grassy hills, some ppl on the sand too. I got sunburnt actually...now im red :S
