Ambleside is a perfect place to spend the summer at the beach and go for strolls year-round while admiring the views of Stanley Park across the water and the ships going under the Lions Gate Bridge in and out from the port in Burrard Inlet.
From Ambleside you can walk all the way to Dundarave, another little village area in West Vancouver. Along the way you will pass soccer fields, children’s playgrounds and sandy beaches.
The main beach at Ambleside is beautiful. The sand isn’t always the cleanest, as it sometimes gets a fair bit of debris from the ocean, like small pieces of wood, but it’s nevertheless still very picturesque and a wonderful place to spend the day. The pier at Ambleside is also very popular, especially with people fishing.
The concession stand at Ambleside is a convenient place to grab a snack while enjoying some fresh air.
