LOCATION:
Coal Harbour, one of Vancouver’s most sought after neighborhoods,
begins
at Canada Place, running along the Burrard Inlet shore to reach the
Westin
Bayshore Hotel, one of Vancouver's oldest hotels.
Coal Harbour is a picturesque neighborhood, with dramatic scenery that
epitomizes West Coast living, including stunning views of the North
Shore
Mountains, Stanley Park, the Lions Gate Bridge and the Burrard Inlet.
CHARACTER:
A short walk along the seawall connects Coal Harbour to Stanley Park,
one
of the largest urban parks in North America, offering neighborhood residents
easy access to the park’s numerous running and bike trails. With
the seawall
stretching the length of the neighborhood – from Canada Place
to Stanley
Park – Coal Harbour’s waterfront is a mix of walkers, joggers,
cyclists, roller
-bladers and dogs of all sizes.
Coal Harbour boasts a close proximity to downtown
Vancouver, with Robson
Street, the city’s premier shopping street and Howe Street, Vancouver's
financial core, just around the corner. This active community can combine
jogging in the morning, shopping in the afternoon and dinner at a world-class
waterfront restaurant in the evening to top off the day.
WHAT'S IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
The seaside walkway is Coal Harbour’s center of activity, and
includes a
marina, community centre, hotels and award-winning restaurants. Numerous
café’s, a health center, playgrounds and boutique stores
are also clustered
close to the waterfront. The neighborhood is still developing, and new
amenities are popping up to serve the growing community.
Coal Harbour residents also have the luxury of two major transportation
options. The floatplane terminal in Burrard Inlet provides a convenient
means
of reaching Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Vancouver's downtown
heliport is also nearby, making Whistler, Victoria and Seattle a short
helicopter ride away.
