With three beaches along Howe Sound, the Village of Lions Bay has a beach for just about everyone. Beachgoers are reminded to be considerate of other visitors, by observing some simple rules:
- Beach parks open at 8 a.m. and close at 10 p.m. every day of the week. Visitor parking is limited--the parks are very pupular in the summer.
- There are limited toilet and changing facilities at Lions Bay and Kelvin Grove Beaches, but Brunswick Beach is unserviced.
- Smoking (of any kind) is not permitted at Village parks, beaches and trails.
- Wild birds are federally protected from harrasment. The waters off Lions Bay are a federally protected Rockfish Conservation Area, and fishing is prohibited. Further out are rare sponge reefs, also federally protected.
- Leashed or not, dogs are not permitted at Lions Bay and Brunswick Beaches, but are welcome at Kelvin Grove Beach. Owners must pick up after them.
- Tradsh must be securely disposed of or taken home to avoid attracting wildlife and conditioning bears to humans and their food sources. A FED BEAR IS A DEAD BEAR.
- Open wood and charcoal fires are not permitted but propane BBQs and firepits on the sand are OK.
- Liquor is not permitted except by municipal event permit.
- Amplified music in public is a violation of the Village’s noise bylaw. Drones and motorised toys are not permitted.
- Please be mindful of others with beach tents, shelters and umbrellas.
Parking is limited - take the bus instead:
Visitors are encouraged to use public transportation to visit Lions Bay's parks. All three beach parks are a short walk away from bus stops on the Translink 262 Lions Bay / Caulfeild route.
