Top Things to Do at Granville Island Public Market
The Granville Island Public Market is full of local vendors peddling good eats. All kinds of food from around the can be found here, giving the market an international atmosphere. If you desire it, Granville Island Public Market likely has it.
In one area of the market building, there are rows of food vendors with plenty of seating in between. Last time, I enjoyed savory and sweat crepes from a French vendor.
Funny Signs: Clothing Optional and Clothing Required in Vancouver
By looking at 2 very unique signs in Vancouver, the observer will see the variations in attitudes towards nudity in Vancouver in probably one of the most unique topics covered (or should I say "uncovered") here on Vancouver'd.
At Wreck Beach, clothing IS optional.
The Travel Channel ranked Wreck Beach the Number 3 in its Best Nude Beaches in the World. That's saying a lot. Imagine that! Vancouver, Canada has one of the world's best clothing optional beaches AND the Travel Channel endorses it.

Pack lots of sunscreen and forget about a bathing suit. There's no need for soggy uncomfortable bathing suits at Wreck Beach when the weather is warm. If the Travel Channel says its ok, why not? You only live once. Find this sign in Vancouver and you're near the nude beach.
Want to know more about the beach before visiting? Spending less than $20 on the Wreck Beach Book seems like a good deal.
