Sunrise
Area: Stanley Park, Burrard Inlet
The east side of the seawall faces Burrard Inlet and the North Shore Mountains, where dawn lights the harbour from behind the ridges; the full solar disc is not visible in every season. Walk or cycle the Stanley Park Seawall, carrying a light and watching for shared-path traffic before dawn.
Sunset
Area: West End, English Bay
This west-facing beach combines English Bay, the North Shore Mountains and the edge of downtown in one sunset view. It is easy to reach on foot, by bike or transit from downtown; summer evenings are busy, so keep the seawall and boat access clear.
Sunset
Area: Little Mountain, Vancouver
This high point looks northwest across downtown and the North Shore Mountains, with the sunset shifting toward the coast or mountains by season. It is an uphill walk from nearby transit and the viewpoint is straightforward, but gardens and parking areas have their own hours, so check your exit when arriving late.
Sunrise and sunset on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of each month for comparing daylight through the year in Vancouver.
