Things to do in winter in Vancouver: Go for a walk on the beach
Winter can be an enjoyable and cost-effective time to visit Vancouver. Vancouver also has more mild temperatures compared to the rest of Canada and spending the day outside is doable with the proper attire.
One thing to do in Vancouver during the winter is to go for a walk on the beach. There are many beaches to chose. I'd probably look at a short walk along Stanley Park on the west side of the park. There's a nice beachfront adjacent to a large swimming pool area (popular during the summer).
Things to do in winter in Vancouver: Make a snowman on the beach
With a more moderate winter climate than most of the rest of Canada, Vancouver sometimes seems to see more rain than snow during winter. The average temperatures during November, December and January (the coldest months) hover just above freezing.
Visitors and locals alike still find ways to have fun. When snow covers the ground, some people make a snowman.
"As a traveler staying at a hotel, where can I make a snow man?," you ask. "I don't have anywhere to make one and I lack snowman decorations."
Head to the beach to make a snowman.
The beach has all that's needed for decorating a snow man. For eyes, nose, mouth and hair, the beach has everything needed.
Sea shells can be used for eyes and mouth. Drift wood or sticks can be used for the nose. Seaweed can be used for hair. The resulting snowman can look something like this:
