More info

The date

The flat, free walk from Jericho Beach Park to Locarno moves at a pace that quietly forces good conversation, which is either a feature or a warning depending on how things are going. Start where the sailing club's boats dot the water, then drift west under big evergreens with the North Shore mountains lined up across English Bay. Time it late and take credit for the sunset you didn't plan.

How to do it

Start at Jericho Beach Park among the sailing-club boats and amble west under the big evergreens to Locarno's quieter sand, mountains lined up across the bay the whole way. Budget an hour, bring a coffee, and let the conversation wander as far as you do. Time the back half for low light and Locarno turns to gold, then drift on for food.
