The quest

Skip the seawall loop. Sit or walk Sunset Beach until you can point at five hulls, birds, logs, or buildings without checking your phone.

Steps

  1. Stay on the public beach at Sunset Beach. No private docks.
  2. Walk Sunset Beach's waterline until you have a list of five shoreline things.
  3. Turn around. Lifeguard flags, if any, are the boss.

Why this is on the board

Vancouver was built on water whether the skyline admits it or not. Sunset Beach (west of centre, Vancouver) is a named public edge: five things on the waterline, then you turn around.

Safety. Public ground only. Map data goes stale — if a rail, hour, or closure disagrees, leave. Not a guided tour.
