If you're looking for a scenic, low-pressure walking spot--this is it. The trails are mostly flat and well-maintained, making them perfect for casual walks, long reflective strolls, or gentle exercise.Wildlife is part of the experience: ducks, geese, and other birds often hang around the water, making the walk feel alive but still peaceful. Why it's a great walking spot: * Flat, beginner-friendly trails * Beautiful sunsets and open landscapes * Calm, nature-filled atmosphere * Great for solo walks or slow catch-ups with a friend * Easy place to clear your head after a long day If your goal is movement without pressure--and views that make you want to keep walking a little longer--Boundary Bay is absolutely worth it. read more

I can't give nature less then 5 stars!! I have to confess, being a citizen of Vancouver for over 30 yrs., this is the very first time coming to this beach!! And what a beach!! Yes, I have heard that traffic is crazy during peak seasons and on long weekends, but who can say no to this view, and further more, its very user friendly and family friendly!! Picnic table and bbq pits are abound and they are not all crammed together too, so if you plan ahead and come well prepared you will be able to get a great spot to have a good time with your folks! Oh and they have a great concession stand that has a good selection of beach friendly foods for you to choose from! So, what are you waiting for? Grab a beach towel, sun block and head down the beach!! read more

Going here is a bit of a drive from Burnaby but we just love going to this park. Restrooms are clean and well maintained plus they have a great concession stall. There is a lot of parking available and it can be quite packed on a nice sunny day. There are nice walking and biking trails available and the beach is long and wide. There's a big playground for kids too and picnic benches available. read more

This is a great beach, they have a playground, fairly new bathrooms and a good size parking lot. I usually come here in the winter time with my bike and ride around and you can see eagles and other wildlife as well. This is a nice place to get close to nature....and the people who come here are quite friendly as well. read more

Modern bathroom facility but no showers inside the changing rooms. The sand is soft but there were a lot of drift wood, tan bark. We got bitten by mosquitos here. You get to see Mt Baker from afar (?) and you get a wide unobstructed view. read more

I'm thankful that this beach is so close to my house. Especially after they revamped the playground and concession stand. This is one of my favourite spots to spend the day - you just can't beat the views! On one side you have the mountains, on the other side you have the city skyline, and right in front of you, nothing but blue ocean. It is truly beautiful. This is the perfect spot to visit on a hot summer's day with the family or a group of friends. The beach itself is fairly clean, with lots of room to lay out and set up shop for the day. They also have quite a few picnic tables off to side if you wanted to have a small summer potluck, bbq, or family picnic. If you didn't want to bring your own food, they do have a concession stand where you can buy snacks and goodies. There is also a large playground, that always seems to be busy when I've visited. Parking is free and there are plenty of spots, so even if it's really busy, you're still sure to find something. Also, plenty of bathrooms that are fairly clean for a beach/public washroom. I'm excited for the warm, summer days so that I can come back to Centennial. Side note: this is a beautiful spot to watch the sunrise, since it's on the east side of the city. read more

Centennial Beach - Boundary Bay Regional Park - Beaches Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

Great huge beach. If you want to avoid crowds, go there early like 8am. The downside is the water is shallow so you'd have to walk Farr away until it is deep enough for u. But clear water. Concession opens at 11am. Washrooms were renovated and big as well. Lots of stall. read more

It's a good place for family to spend time. We drove from Coquitlam. It's not too far and acceptable. It's very close to point roberts, who are willing to fill up some gas there can consider it. read more

Time for a mini vacation, a picnic on the beach, a perfect breeze and a walk along the boardwalk in the marsh. Time to pick blackberries right off the bush. Time to breath the salty air, and listen to the sound under your feet as you walk while enjoying the mountain views across the water. Yup, it's time to visit Boundary Bay and let go of your troubles, let them fly away and simply be in the moment. Another great day at Boundary Bay Park. Thank you BC for this almost secret treasure. read more

Centennial Beach - Boundary Bay Regional Park - Beaches Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

I got here quite early and got to enjoy the beach a bit before it was filled with people. It gets busy fast so get here early to secure yourself a nice spot! Since I was early I also got to see flocks of blue heron enjoying the water. It was such a beautiful sight! This is a great beach to spend the day. Parking is free and you can bring food and have yourself a nice picnic or bbq! Great for families too! The water is shallow and will be safe for the little ones! read more

Centennial Beach - Boundary Bay Regional Park - Breathtaking - Beaches Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

I love this beach so much I plan on getting married by it! My first job was working at the old concession stand (When Pajo's was there). The new concession stand is a thing of beauty. I love their eco-friendliness and their living roof. The food selection is a surprise, not your run of the mill concession food by any means. Their new park equipment is amazing, I can't help but play on it too. I love that it is accessible to children of all abilities. Inclusive = awesome. If you're looking to have a dinner cookout at one of the fire pits, you need to stake your claim early! They spaces are limited and families literally set up camp around fire pits and picnic tables all day. Heed my warning. Please, just be considerate of the natural environment and clean up after yourselves. This park is amazing and I can't wait to share it with my future children! read more

Centennial Beach - Boundary Bay Regional Park - Beaches Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

I nice place to walk/ride your bike. There is an few apple trees a nice park and lots of friendly people to meet. You can walk, swim play in the park or even hang out with your friends I would highly suggest this place to go the next time you are in tsawwassen. read more

Do you love being a beach bum but hate all the crowds? Or maybe you are looking for an all day beach adventure with facilities to keep everyone entertained. Centennial Beach is worth the drive to Tsawassen. Since this beach is significantly less busy than the other Lower Mainland beaches you do not have to fight for towel space (or parking usually). Did I mention the parking is free? Unheard of! Your options are endless here... from laying out and baking until you are a crisp brown, this beach easily has the best tidal pools for skim boards... again you don't have to fight for the good tidal pools either! Also available is a beach volley ball court, baseball diamonds, and a picnic area where you are allowed to barbeque. While part of the beach is for people only, slightly off the main beach is a dog friendly area so you can bring your pooch to have a good game of frisbee or fetch. Just remember the cardinal rule... the ocean is not the dog's toilet. Or a people's toilet for that matter! For summer days stop off and grab some munchies, or if you fancy they have a concession stand which is very reasonably priced and has icecream! Also worth noting this beach is incredibly clean, I usually avoid the ocean at our beaches as you end up covered with an unidentifiable substance, not at Centennial... and trust me, it is disgusting after a day skim boarding at White Rock scrubbing off oil and *other* substances from your skin. A simply must do for a nice summer day! read more

I love this place. A different sort of vibe than your regular Vancouver/White Rock beaches. Lots of families having bbq's and picnicing! The only downside was the little bastard kids throwing rocks at seagulls (hey kid, I hate them too, but c'mon). Me and my Auntie came here to sit in the sun for a couple hours. A blanket, a book and some water. It's all you need. I saw a lot of people skimming here too, it looks like lots of fun. read more

This is a great place to spend a nice hot summer day with the kids. Centennial Beach is very easy to find and once you get there, there are plenty of parking spots. We came here when the tide was out and that made for some great discovery and adventure for my 2.5 year old. The playground is really varied, it's suitable for little walkers, to those big kids at heart (well maybe). My kids could have easily spent hours just in the playground alone, even on such a hot day. This is the kind of place to take the kids to, where the adults will have fun as well. read more

When the sun comes out in March, our family heads for the beach. What matter that it's only 8 degrees outside and there's a north-wester blowing straight down from the mountains. With one son in a wetsuit and one in shorts and flip-flops we took the surprisingly short trip from East Van to Tsawwassen this weekend. The last time we came here, the concession was still under construction, but it's done now and is a great facility. There's an awesome playground too. Once we arrive and saw the tide was out, the wetsuit was ditched for something warmer, but it was a perfect day for kite flying. Armed with two awesome stunt kites and something that resembles the flying beasts in Avatar, but which clearly was never built to get off the ground, we had a wonderful half hour of family frustration and tears over knotted strings, who got to fly and who had to throw, and why Avatar was as pile of crap anyway. From such times will the fond reminiscences of my dotage be drawn. Fortunately, the vast expanse of low-tide sand offers countless alternative opportunities for exploration, discovery and unseasonable wading. The whole afternoon was capped off by the late discovery of a fire in one of the fire pits left behind by an earlier visitor. Nothing brings a family together like a session round a camp fire, and the smell of smoke that permeated the van on the drive home made us all long for summer and camping. All of this comes with a panoramic view from Bowen Island to Point Roberts by way of the North Shore, Cascades, Mount Baker and the Gulf Islands. What a spot. read more

Another quaint coffee place in Tsawwassen! Delicious menu for lunch or snack, dessert and coffee! Love the boutique they've incorporated in this place read more

Great place for a summer evening with friends and family! Awesome beach for swimming at high tide. Sandy beach and large expanse of shallow water. Big hit with all age groups! Happy swimming! read more

Ok I didn't know I could review a beach on here but lo (tide) and behold! Had the opportunity to go out to Centennial Beach for a bbq over the weekend. The trek was a bit far from the city but wow so worth it! A beautiful spacious beach area with tables and bbq pits. Due to the fire ban the fire pits were closed up but they made for perfect propane bbq stands! One minute it was low tide and one minute it was water for days...and the water was warm! A perfect out of the way place to go for some rest and relaxation. read more

I'm not totally sure why this place has such rave reviews to be honest... It's big, which is great because there is a lot of room and everyone can space themselves out but when the tide is out you have to walk a good mile or so to even have water up to your knees. On the positive side, it's kept very clean. If you want to just lounge around on the sand, I suppose it's great. Probably not totally ideal for swimmers though. read more

Centennial Beach - Boundary Bay Regional Park - Canada Day 2014 - Beaches Near Me - Delta, British Columbia

Centennial is a great beach for families. The water is always warm in spring, summer and fall. The park is awesome and wheelchair friendly. The facilities are brand new with big bathrooms and a great cafe. The beach is big enough for a lot of people to find a patch of sand and a log to call home for the day. read more

This is a good beach if your not looking for the big crowds Kits and English bay get. As a result there is ample parking and beach space to go around. When the tides out it goes way out. The water depth never goes above your waist and you can pick up clams and shells for your collection. read more

Lovely beach and concession. Playgrounds and fields galore. Why didn't I spend my entire summer here instead of 'discovering' it on the last day of the labour day long weekend? read more

Looks like a really cool family oriented beach. I would like to spend some more time there.

The walking paths are a must. They give you a feel for what the area must have been like before the Eurooeans came.

Wow. I love this beach! I remember coming here when I was a child, but hadn't been back ever since. It was Canada Day and my friend and I wanted to get away from the crowds. So...what do we do? Take a bus adventure to Centennial Beach! From Vancouver one can take the Canada Line to Bridgeport Station and take the 601 South Delta bus to Tsawwassen. The bus will drop you in downtown Tsawwassen and then you'll have to walk about 30 minutes to the beach. It's really not the bad because you're walking along the waterfront. Anyways this is what I found: - if you walk instead of taking your car, you will end up on the west side of the beach and not many people go there if they have driven and have a lot of stuff (coolers, umbrellas) with them. So this part of the beach is pretty much free of crowds with people scattered here and there. It's a 10 minute walk from the parking lot/cafe but it appears many people don't want to walk that far in the sunshine (good for me!) - when the tide is low like it was on Canada Day you can go swimming for miles and miles. I went about 20 minutes into the water and the water was just above my knees. - bring your kayak so you can visit White Rock. I will be doing that next time...I just need a car to bring it. :D - no cops taking away fun from the people (you know what this means) - a good mix of people (us 20 year old delinquents, seniors, families, dogs) - the Boundary Bay park is a good area to watch eagles. I was stalking a heron for a long time too. So, this is where I will be if I feel like swimming and sunbathing because I don't even want to think about swimming anywhere in Vancouver. Yuck. Oh how I love summer days... read more

I almost didn't want to write this review because I want it to stay a semi-hidden gem, but fine, I guess I'll share. This beach is great! You can't beat the views. You've got city skyline to your left, snow-capped mountains to your right, then just blue for days right down the middle. Besides the park, I wouldn't say it's the most family friendly beach though. We came right after low-tide so maybe this is why, but there is basically no sand.. Just mostly rocks and debris, so bring your flip flops! Although I saw a lot of barefoot kids, I personally wouldn't recommend it. Besides that, even during the time we came, the water is pretty shallow pretty far in. I legit thought a 12 foot man was standing in the water because he was about a quarter mile away from me and just standing on top of the water. Haha. There's a humungous play area for kids right next to the cafe.. Yes, that's right. THE CAFE. I mean seriously, you can grab a chai tea latte right before you lay out on the beach. It doesn't get better than that I don't think. Oh, and can we talk about those bathrooms? That's some high class shit, maybe even nicer than my bathroom at home. I mean I don't know if all of Canada is like this, but I'll tell you that the beach bathrooms in America have all been pretty damn repulsive. Like shit-on-the-walls-ribbed-for-her-pleasure-condom-on-the-sink-handles repulsive. So yeah, I was pretty impressed. If you're thinking of coming here, please do. Put on your swimsuit, drive your ass here, go to the cafe, order a latte, tell them Charmaine sent you, they'll have no idea what who you're talking about, but it'll still be a good time for you anyway. read more

The best beach in the lower mainland by far,The water is very clean and when the tides out you can walk for miles. Even walk down to the the USA on the tidal flats.I would so love to live in Boundary Bay but cant afford the high prices. No wonder Vancouver used to call this their vacation land in the early 1900 !!! read more
