Stanley Park of course!!

My favourite picnic/beach spot is Virginia Key in Miami, though! One of Tim's friends gave us the tip about this place, this pic is on a Saturday at around 2pm, no one around!!

damn, that looks like paradise

im pretty set on that shit but for some reason i think im making a bad choice, maybe i should just move my 21 an hour ass dt and not give a fuck about stability.

[miss.myra]

ol' dirty, the secret to happiness in life is the ability to truly not give a fuck..haha

For anyone, a great suburban place for a picnic : Burnaby Mountain. If you crave the city, you can get a mountain-top view of downtown from the hill. There is a children's playground and a large tile mosaic. There are some hiking paths on the mountain and a horizons' restaurant. Picnic tables, young couples having sex in the parking lot, the like. The hill is big enough that you can find your own space. Walk a few steps upwards and you hit SFU. From close to the AQ you get an amazing view of the snow-capped mountains and perhaps the inlet, framed by the buildings.

Then again, I am biased. I grew up walking distance from burnaby mountain and attended SFU at one point in time.

Vancouver:

Jericho beach-ish area. At the Jericho Sailing Centre, there is a casual dining place called "The Galley Patio & Grill"

where they serve amazing burgers made with Angus beef. There are also options for vegetarians as well. You can eat on the patio and admire the view of the beach/ocean, a few steps from you. I know it kind of defeats the idea of a "picnic" but you can always order and take it to the beach.

Point-Grey Foreshore:

After Jericho, you can walk along point grey road until you hit the Point Grey foreshore at around Dunbar and Point Grey. I used to live in a basement suite around there, and on mornings I'd take my breakfast coffee down to the foreshore, climb down these slightly hidden long flight of stairs down to the foreshore beach and walk along the beach while the tide is low. It's a natural beach so you'll see starfish clinging on to rocks and crabs scattering about. The best part is that you see this amazing panoramic view of Downtown Vancouver from there. On a clear day, it's stunning. I don't think many people visit this beach either.
