Spanish Banks Beach Dog Off Leash Park

Parking was non existent, but we were persistent and eventually got a spot way up the road. The beach itself is a great spot for dogs...my dog had so much fun running into the water. We will definitely go back on a weekday rather than a weekend...hopefully parking won't be so bad.

Great waterfront location with spectacular views of the North Shore Mountains, sunsets, and the Vancouver skyline. Plenty of benches and tables for all. Beach area for dogs adds a extra fun spot for off-leash play. A special park for our family and we often visit the memorial table dedicated to my folks. Enjoy!

Great place to access the Spanish banks, big plus is there are dogs and puppies here. Plenty of space to set up to relax before you go down to the water! Would recommend. Seems like a good space for a family event or bbq too - or to hop in the ocean to cool down.

Great place to take your dog. Safe venue to meet up with friends or make new ones. Also very clean. Can't wait to try this place in summer.

Love, love, love it! But pretty sure my furry four-legged buddy loves it even more! Be sure that you end up at the Off Leash Beach though, as Google first took me to the part of Spanish Beach with Volleyball nets, etc, that prohibits dogs!. What a great place to allow both dog and owner to enjoy the beauty of nature, surrounded by beach, ocean and very large grassy areas. Wish I would have found this place sooner! If you have a dog with some energy to burn and would like a visit with some really great people yourself, I highly recommend heading to Spanish Banks Off Leash Park:

Lots of fun for the doggos. Open ocean. Sand ball throwing. Friendly dog owners. Great space to enjoy the fresh sea air.

My favorite place to go and watch the sunset any time of year. Gets a little busy on a beautiful sunny day, but always worth the trip.

Beautiful beach with spectacular views of the mountains. It has a large grass area with a lot of picnic tables. It's our favorite spot in Vancouver since we can also bring our dog with us. In the summer it's really hard to find parking unless you come early.

We took our pup when it was overcast & the tide was out so there was lots of space to run on the mud flats. It was a great opportunity to practice recall in a fairly safe setting. The other people out with their dogs were all friendly and allowed for off-leash interaction & exploration. You'll want to bring your own fresh drinking water & a couple towels to dry off paws & fur before driving home.

My dog loves the off-leash trails and so do we. It's a simple walk with a few small hills. There are so many different trails that we can take, that it becomes as long or short of a walk as you want. Everyone is so friendly and so far, all the dogs have been well behaved.
