Beach volleyball
Beach volleyball is a popular summertime activity in Vancouver and the Vancouver Park Board does a wonderful job of setting aside public sand volleyball courts where Vancouverites and tourists alike can play a game or two on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lifeguards at these beaches sign-out nets to the public, free of charge, but participants must supply their own ball.
