Where is the best place to watch the sunrise in Vancouver, Canada?

Question

Any good recommendation where to find the 'perfect' sunrise?

Answer 1

You really do not get a great view of sunrise in Vancouver,

unless you are at higher grounds.  Sunsets are however a different story.

The best place in Vancouver is at the the small pier in

Deep Cove.  This is in North Shore part of the

Greater Vancouver area.

Answer 2

Hmmm - anywhere in the English Bay/Kits/Jericho area is wonderful for sunsets, but sunrises are a different question. One truly spectacular place to watch a sunrise is from the top of Burnaby Mountain (the Simon Fraser University campus) and you can see it come up over the Coastal Mountain range.

Answer 3

Queen Elizabeth park, and you can share it with a whole bunch of people doing tai chi, too.

Answer 4

Well since it would be hard to get on the roof of one of downtown's tallest buildings or the top of Grouse Mountain at 5AM, we would suggest the spot near the Yacht Club on Cornwall, halfway between Kits Beach and Jericho Beach (around Alma I think).  It is a very small park that overlooks the city and the ocean and it is one of my favorite spots of all time.  After dark, the view is even more spectacular.

Answer 5

Anywhere near the water, but the sunsets are better.

Answer 6

Depends on how far you would like to venture out, but the board walk in White Rock is really nice too. No city view - just the ocean stretching out to the horizon.

You can kind of see what the view would be like if you click on the link to the hotel (just imagine what it would look like outside the hotel).

Answer 7

Newfoundland.

Actually the top of any of the big bridges.

Answer 8

In my opinion you might try Cypress Bowl as it has a pretty good SE view.

Remember you have Mtn, Trees and in the city buildings all around you.

YVR can be a really neat place to be at sunrise (near the end of the runway).

Answer 9

Drive up to the viewpoint on Cypress Mountain in West Vancouver.  You'll have a great view of the entire city as the sun comes up.

Answer 10

English Bay
