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:

Enjoying the beach and making a snowman can be a fun thing to do during Vancouver winter.
