Begin your walkabout at the Main Street SkyTrain station to take a look at the area’s last remaining industrial waterfront along First Avenue. Pass under the Cambie Street Bridge and over into another world . . . parkland, seawall footpaths, marinas and enclaves of charming houses and apartments. A short walk to Granville Island and its famous public market. Or hop a ferry across the creek to explore the other side of False Creek known as Yaletown.
