Locarno Beach Park
Lining English Bay, Locarno Beach is situated in the exclusive West Point Grey neighbourhood between Jericho Beach and Spanish Banks beaches. Great picnics and scenery for the family.
Located between Spanish Banks Beach (West) and Jericho Beach (East), Locarno is popular with the sun tanning and volley ball enthusiasts. Locarno faces North and picks up a good afternoon sun. There are plenty of picnic benches and grassy spaces at the beach - so you should be able to find what you are looking for. Things do get busy - so do get there early and pick out your space. Locarno provides great views of the North Shore mountains, city and bay. You can catch a good evening sunset in Summer - this makes it an ideal place for a summer BBQ. Locarno is along the way of the shore line trail system from Jericho (East) to Spanish Banks (West). The trail is a great path for running, walking and biking. It is compacted dirt - so don't try roller blading.
