About Kitsilano

Kitsilano is Vancouver's classic beach neighbourhood, stretching along the West Side waterfront on English Bay from Burrard Street to Alma Street, between West Broadway and the Kitsilano beach and seawall. "Kits" is known for a laid-back, active lifestyle - Kits Beach, the saltwater Kitsilano Pool, the seawall, and a famous concentration of yoga and fitness studios - paired with two lively shopping streets, West 4th Avenue and West Broadway, full of independent boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Vanier Park and its museums sit at the eastern tip, Jericho and Spanish Banks beaches stretch west, and the Arbutus Greenway runs through the south end. The False Creek ferries connect to Granville Island and downtown, and the Broadway corridor's transit links the city.
