A Perfect Day for a Walk by the Water: Exploring Vancouver’s Shores

A personable, informative guide to Vancouver by way of its waterways and coastlines

Located on Canada's West Coast, one of Vancouver’s greatest and most spectacular assets is its proximity to water. In this follow-up to A Perfect Day for a Walk, author Bill Arnott takes readers on another exploration of Vancouver by way of its shores. A Perfect Day for a Walk by the Water is an informative, eclectic series of excursions in, on, and under the water around Greater Vancouver, delving into cultures, histories, and narratives that make this region unique.

Join Arnott as he goes scuba diving off the shores of West Vancouver, becomes steeped in the watery traditions of the Coast Salish people at the Museum of Anthropology, visits the stomping grounds of legendary Indigenous leader Chief Joe Capilano and the longshoremen of Burrard Dry Dock, and learns about the history of Burrard Inlet aboard a SeaBus. From Granville Island and the North Shore’s Spirit Trail to False Creek, English Bay, and the Lions Gate Bridge, A Perfect Day for a Walk by the Water is an engaging and invigorating tour of the city as expressed in its beautiful shores and waterways. Using footwear and flippers, not to mention paddles, oars, engines, and sails, Arnott offers a whole new perspective on Vancouver's diverse coastline and what it means to our present and future.
