Vancouver Vacation: Granville Island

Hubby and I went to Granville Island during our trip to Canada, and I have to say I really loved the vibe here! It was all very laid back with lots to see and do, like eating, shopping, and just people watching.

Anyway, if you don't know, Granville Island is a peninsula and shopping district in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Here you can find an extensive marina, theatres, galleries, studios, unique shops, cafes, and a large public market.

boats and waterfront restaurants

lots of cute and artsy botiques

great view

Our favorite was definitely the Granville Island Public Market which features a farmers' market, day vendors, and artists offering local Vancouver goods.

It was so fun walking through the market and seeing all the colorful stalls. All the food items looked so fresh and appetizing. It was definitely a feast for the eyes and senses. See for yourself how pretty everything looked!

We definitely got hungry seeing all the yummy goodness in the market. Sarap mag food trip! ;p

My hubby loves beer so of course we also had to check out Granville Island Brewing Co. This is a beer company which originated on Granville Island in 1984, and was British Columbia's first "cottage" brewery.

choose your flavor

cheers!

Granville Island definitely has something for everyone. As we were walking back to the bus stop, we even stumbled upon this pretty park. Photo op haha! Anyway we really enjoyed our afternoon here. The market was definitely a highlight and shouldn't be missed when in Vancouver. :)
