Easy parking locations along NW Marine Drive Road and we parked in the very available Trimble Street Parking Lot on Locarno Beach location..there are wide open vistas in every direction, especially viewing the North Shore Mountains and Downtown Vancouver..today was special as it was New Years Day 2022..ankle deep snow was everywhere…we were among the many individuals enjoying this very vibrant January 1, 2022 day..some young and energetic individuals were enjoying the Polar Bear Swim yearly event…I remember the acceleration I felt in this swim many years ago as I reached the very cold water and retreated a towel and warm clothing..

Great views of the North Shore Mountains, West Vancouver, English Bay, and downtown. Tucked in between Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks, Locarno has plenty of green space for family picnics, lawn games, and lounging in the sun or shade. Not a big parking area but plenty of street parking nearby. The shared cycle/walking path is a problem when some cyclists speed along like it’s a commuter’s priority lane. I hope folks could slow down and respect the spirit that is intended with a shared beach pathway.

A wonderful beach with a fascinating scenery: blue mountain background, open water, dark red anchored cargoes, sauntering and hovering seagulls, crescent shore lines, waves patting the sandy shore and rocks, and a cluster of downtown high rise buildings in distance. Enchantingly, people join into this picturesque scenery on sunny days: they play volleyballs, picnic, walk, fly kites, train the dog, ride bicycles . . . Those with lovers even add romance to the beautiful scene!

My favourite beach in Vancouver. Usually less busy than most of the other beaches and has plenty of volleyball courts, you just need to bring your own nets. Lots of parking but it's been harder to find lately, I think it's cause less people are likely to carpool due to covid so now there are much more Evos taking up parking spots. Regardless, still my favourite beach, I have alot of find memories there and the sunsets are gorgeous.

Nice sandy beach. In some parts there’s a concentration of seaweed that smells right by the water, but you can just keep going till you get your a better part. The sunset was stunning from there. Great place for paddle boarding and watching the sunset. There’s a good amount of parking space nearby. The parking is paid. Currently the beach closes at 10 pm.

Tried watching the fireworks from Locarno Beach this year. I thought it was a bit too far to view the fireworks. But it was much less crowded. A good option if you want to avoid the crowds and traffic going in and out of downtown, or other viewpoints that are closer to the action. We did enjoy a beautiful sunset and overall a great beach day.
