Jericho Beach, Beach in Vancouver, Canada
The eastern section of Jericho Beach provides swimming areas while the western part contains facilities for sailboats and windsurfing activities.
The beach area served as the first Canadian Air Force station in British Columbia, operating as a Flying Boat Station from 1920 until 1947.
The land holds significance to Indigenous peoples, as it was originally named iy'a'l'mexw by the Squamish Nation who inhabited the area.
The beach features multiple amenities including volleyball courts, soccer fields, baseball grounds, public washrooms, and designated picnic areas with tables.
The beach name originates from Shenáwtsut, known as Jericho Charlie, who owned a cedar long house on these lands in earlier times.
