We've got some okay beaches, especially over the last few years with the hotter temperatures. Actually late July/ early August there's this fireworks festival called the Symphony of Fire (I refuse to call it the Celebration of Light) where there's a big barge out in the middle of English Bay and on Wednesday and Saturday there's big firework demonstrations played to classical music. It's a bit of a competition so we have other countries come and bedazzle us with their cool explosive stuff. It was always my favourite part of summer, at least until I moved out of the neighborhood that's close to English Bay and had to try and get home with 10,000 other people.
That's the main beach where everyone gathers, but there's a few others along the coast that you can go to to get just as good a view.
