Granville Island Brewing Company
Start with a local brew and a casual bite at the Granville Island Brewing Company taproom. The hours allow for an early evening visit, and it is the perfect spot to secure a table before the crowds gather for the view.
16:42
Walk north from the island to the southern end of English Bay. Find the inukshuk statue facing out to sea. This is your vantage point for the golden light and sunset, looking west toward the water.
18:12
After the sun sets, head back toward the island area to Backstage Lounge. It is a short walk away and offers a relaxed atmosphere with live music and pub eats to wind down the evening.
Local tip
The inukshuk faces west, aligning perfectly with the sunset. Check the route from Granville Island to English Bay if you are not familiar with the walk.
