This is the site of what was once the largest shipyard in British Columbia. There are a number of displays that go through the history of shipbuilding on the North Shore, and Shipbuilders Square hosts community events throughout the year, including free summer concerts, a summer night market on Friday evenings and a Christmas market. For views of Vancouver, the Burrard Inlet and North Vancouver, head east along the waterfront to the 700 ft Burrard Dry Dock Pier.

Raglans
Great place if you're looking for a tiki bar/surf vibe while you drink local beer and eat your burger and nachos. The service is a bit hit and miss but the burgers are excellent.

Lonsdale Quay Market
A bustling and popular market, especially around lunch and early afternoon. The first floor has a variety of shops, mostly selling tourist-oriented souvenirs of varying quality and tackiness. The second floor has a more eclectic variety of shops and boutiques, as well as a children's play area. The best value is the food options, with a diverse food court and a number of sweet smelling shops that entice with baked goods, sandwiches and treats. Climbing the steps outside to the revolving Q provides nice views across the harbour to downtown Vancouver.
