 |
Looking Northeast Kitsilano beach and downtown Vancouver in the distance. |
| Jericho Beach is about a 10 minute drive West of Kitsilano Beach. From this point the beaches are all joined together by foot/bicycle paths. |  |
 |
Jericho Beach features a very large greenspace. It is also the location of the annual Folk Festival. |
| Wide open spaces abound. |  |
 |
Ponds add to the outdoor feeling of this area. |
 |
| Locarno Beach is located just West of Jericho Beach (you can walk from one to the other.) |  |
 |
Looking West along Locarno beach, Spanish Banks is in the distance. |
| The Jericho Sailing Club, between Jericho and Locarno Beaches. |  |

Naturally, many people frown when cameras appear. These pictures were taken about 10 am when no-one was around. |
| The trail from the road is long and steep in spots. Going down is easy, remember, you have to go back up! |  |
