Beaches · West Point Grey, Vancouver
A long sand beach on English Bay with a 50,374 square metre off-leash area at the western end, near the entrance to Pacific Spirit Regional Park. The City lists water access as a feature of the area, so dogs can go in the sea.
One of the few Vancouver beaches where a dog may come off the lead, and the area is big enough that a busy summer afternoon still leaves room.
Off-leash only inside the designated area; dogs must be on a lead on the way in and out. Hours 06:00–22:00. The City of Vancouver allows a maximum of three dogs per handler and states that by-law fines run from $250 to $10,000. Note the tide: at high water the usable sand narrows.
The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Last checked: against the source on . Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.

Vancouver's largest park, a 400-hectare coastal rainforest with the Seawall, beaches and trails. Dogs are welcome throughout the park but must stay on a lead unless they are inside a designated off-leash area; the wooded trails and seawall path are the most popular routes for a walk.
