12. Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach is located at the mouth of False Creek on Beach Avenue and is one of the less popu-
lated beaches in the area. You can walk on the Stanley Park Seawall system if you would rather walk
than ride there. They provide a concession, public washrooms, access to the False Creek Ferry pier
and lifeguards. You can just sunbathe or take a relaxing dip in the cool clear water. It’s also close to
the Vancouver Aquatic Centre, so if the weather doesn’t quite cooperate while visiting there, you can
go diving, use the rope swing, sauna or whirlpool. If weather isn’t a problem, there is plenty to keep
you occupied. You can play some beach volleyball or can play indoors if that is your preference. There
is even a dog park located at Sunset Beach Park where you can let your dog off-leash to burn some
energy.
Located five minutes from Vancouver International Airport, River Rock Casino Resort is located on

ible salt water indoor swimming pool with a slide set in rocks and a well equipped fitness center for
guests of the resort. They have many promotions going on at different times, so you might want to
research before you go to see what you want to participate in. For adult fun and entertainment, this
resort offers it all with elegance and style.
