Grant Street Pier — Attraction in Vancouver

Grant Street Pier, along with Vancouver Waterfront, continues to be one of my favorite places for wedding and engagement photography. The location is perfect for capturing beautiful shots, whether in the soft morning light or during the golden hour in the evening. While it can get busier in the evening, especially around popular spots like WildFin American Grill and Twigs Bistro, the area is always friendly, and it’s easy to find peaceful corners for great photos, particularly early in the day or on weekdays like Monday.

The entire waterfront is full of vibrant colors, and the modern architecture adds a fresh backdrop for any photoshoot. Grant Street Pier and Waterfront Park are especially photogenic. Whether you’re on the bridge, behind it, or walking along the waterfront, there are endless opportunities for stunning shots. I have many couples from Portland and even some from Seattle who come specifically to take photos at this pier. Besides WildFin Grill and Twigs Bistro, you can also find Salt & Straw Ice Cream, open until 11 p.m., a popular spot people...

Great job city of Vancouver. You nailed it with this one. I took the kids, wife and dog and we had a great time. Nice to see Vancouver developing in the shadow of Portland. Some great looking restaurants along the waterfront, though we didn't go in. A couple of the restaurants had a 2nd viewing deck that I would like to check out. Bathrooms were equipped with hand sanitizer instead of sinks, which is a great idea; however the sanitizer was out. Maybe get a bigger bottle in there. Bathrooms also had "sharps" disposal, which I hope doesn't mean people will shoot up in their. There was a hand washing sink outside of the bathroom, which we found by accident. It's at the back outside of the stalls.

O we all great design and I can't wait to see the rest when it...

Wonderful waterfront with plenty of restaurants, bars, cafes, and a few shops, among residential condos and hotels.

The walking paths are paved and wide, ideal for wheelchairs and walkers, along with many benches/walls (for lack of a better word) to sit on for those who can't/don't want to stand for long. There is a splash area for kids, some cool sculptures to enjoy, and signs about local history. Very neat and great for people watching.

I recommend either using public transit or getting dropped off (carpooling at the least) because there is little street parking, and the nearby lots are not big enough for the demand. Hopefully they are planning on allowing public parking the parking garages of the buildings they are...
