Kitsilano Beach in Vancouver is one of Vancouver's 'places to be' year round.
It was voted the third sexiest beach in North America by Forbes Traveler Magazine. And it's also a great place to play tennis. Even in the cooler months, it's a spot where Vancouverites love to hang out. After all, what more can you say about a neighborhood where Lululemon was founded, and where the store still offers free yoga classes in it's store and sometimes even on the beach.
Kitsilano Beach Tennis Courts, Vancouver BC
Kitsilano has a reputation as a place to be and be seen in Vancouver. But it's also a great place to play tennis. There are a group of regulars there who are always willing to pick up a game with you, so you'll never be left out in the cold. And you just might get an invite to go for a coffee at one of the trendy java houses adjacent to the park where the courts are.
What to Do After the Game
Do what all of Vancouver's 'beautiful people' do. Take a walk along the beach, gaze out at the amazing view of the mountains and water from a beach-side vantage point, play basketball or beach volleyball, or let the kids play on the state of the art playground that was a legacy gift from the 2010 Winter Olympics.
