Sunset Beach, Beach on English Bay in Vancouver, Canada
Sunset Beach extends along Beach Avenue between Bute Street and Thurlow Street, offering views of English Bay and the Pacific Ocean waters.
The coastal area transformed from an industrial zone into a recreational space through urban development projects that shaped Vancouver's waterfront landscape.
The beach hosts the annual Celebration of Light fireworks competition, drawing thousands of spectators to witness international pyrotechnic displays.
Visitors can access public facilities including washrooms, concession stands, and a multi-use path connecting to Vancouver Aquatic Centre and Burrard Street Bridge.
A 61-metre cargo barge washed ashore during the 2021 floods, remaining on the beach for nearly a year before its removal cost 2.4 million dollars.
