Lions Bay Beach Park — Attraction in Lions Bay

Beautiful beach but not welcoming neighborhood. We live in North Vancouver and were trying to find something close to home that was small and not too busy as we have 6 month old twins. This beach seemed perfect. The wealthy neighborhood obviously treats this as their own private beach as the parking lot was closed. We ended up parking on a nearby street as several other cars had, it did say permit parking but we'd packed up and driven there, we didn't know what to do, you only have a small window with babies!! When we went back to our car we had a $195 ticket and 22 other cars had been ticketed as well. No wonder they have a nice private beach for the million dollar homes.

Only residences and a train track. Bring snacks!!
