Umm... Hello... This statement is extremely misleading Wreck beachers (the majority of regular beach goers) go down to wreck to enjoy the beach year round. There is nothing NEFARIOUS about that. Come down and enjoy the best beach in Vancouver, clothing optional! Stay open minded and come down to enjoy the beautiful beach. Cheers! “Also, it’s clothing optional, and the only ones you’ll find in February will be there for nefarious reasons.”

Vancouver really is a great city. I grew up in Montreal and have been here a while now and sadly(?) have to say that Vancouver supercedes it now in many ways. Vancouver has come into its own in a very big way in the last 20 years and is now truly Canada's second city now. The place is not perfect and thankfully hasn't been disneyfied too much yet. It is still a real city with real people. "Amsterdam meets Calcutta" is a great line, it's not nearly as exotic and/or rundown as either however. You can't leave out Coal Harbour Marina and the new Convention Centre, also the False Creek Seawall and incredible Granville Island.... so many others.

I used to live at 1st and Commercial in the 80's and it certainly has changed. I would like to extend your tour to Kamloops where we have everything you have described without the traffic. Instead of the ocean we have the North and South Thompson Rivers and skiing at Sun Peaks is often described as Whistler without the line ups. Cheers. Great laugh.
