West Point Grey

Point Grey is an affluent and upscale community located in the North West corner of Vancouver, it is bounded by English Bay (North) & 16th Ave. (South) and by the University Endowment Lands (West) & Alma St. (East). Point Grey is mostly a residential community with some of Vancouver's finest beach front properties as well as having property with great views of the Vancouver skyline and the North Shore Mountains. There is a small shopping district along 10th Ave. complete with grocery stores, retail shops, restaurants, and a small pocket of antique and collectible stores.

Two of Vancouver's most beautiful and popular beaches reside in Point Grey, Spanish Banks and Locarno Beach. With endless sand and tree logs to rest up against these beaches are a haven for sun tanners, beach volleyball players, wake boarders, and swimmers. Vancouver's largest youth hostel is located adjacent to Locarno Beach, the constant flow of young travelers adds to the energy and fun of the neighborhood. Also found in Point Grey are Vancouver's Museum of Anthropology and the massive Pacific Spirit Regional Park, a 763 hectare forested park that is a favorite for hikers, joggers, mountain bikers, and dog walkers.
