Sunset at Kitsilano Beach

The cliche that earned it. Eight free volleyball nets, a driftwood log, and English Bay going full pink.

Kits Beach is the date that's been happening in this city for decades, and it still works because the ingredients are genuinely good. A wide west-facing stretch of sand, the downtown skyline across the water, the North Shore mountains catching the last light, and eight free volleyball nets if you need something to do with your hands while you figure out what to say. The game plan: volleyball to burn off any first-date nerves, then claim a driftwood log as the sky goes through its whole dramatic peach-and-rose routine. It costs nothing. It asks nothing. And when the light finally drops and you're still sitting there talking, you'll understand why this beach has been running the same play for generations without anyone getting tired of it.
