Granville Island
It may be called an island, but Granville is actually a manmade
peninsula. This revitalized industrial waterfront now boasts a variety
of theatres, galleries, restaurants, and bars (even a brewery),
along with a Maritime Market where you can rent a kayak or board
a False Creek or Aquabus ferry. Granville Island is the hub for
the city’s multitude of arts festivals—jazz, writers’,
theatre, and comedy.
The Granville Island Public Market (1689 Johnson Street; 604-666-6477;
open February-December 9am-6pm daily, January 9am-6pm Tuesday-Sunday)
offers 10,000 square feet of fresh veggies, baked goods, fish and
meats, cheese, coffee, ethnic foods, and plenty more. Grab some
lunch and kick back at a table with a fine view of the bay.
