Kew Beach Park in West Vancou ver is almost imposs ible to find

Picnics In this the summer of pandemic, going to Greece is out and “local” is in.

Around the province, communities are divided between those that want tourism, and those without medical facilities that plead for people to stay away. For folks on the North Shore, there is a third option. We can enjoy “staycations” right here at home in places we have never visited before. It’s easy if you just know where to go. To save you some time, I have spent the last 30 years exploring our wilderburb and it’s amazing what you can discover in just a few decades, especially using Google Maps.

What the heck is a “wilderburb?” According to American historian Lincoln Bramwell, it’s those rare and special places where the wilderness and suburbia interconnect.

No finer example in the world can be found than the North Shore, where the mountains meet the sea amidst a paradise of forests, beaches, coves, cliffs, ponds and lakes. The trouble is that many of the best known are busy and many others are hard to find. Let me share a few with you.

One day I was at Gleneagles Golf Course wondering whether I wished to embarrass myself by playing a round of golf, when I noticed a family emerging from the woods behind the 7th hole carrying what looked to be picnic supplies. There is a tall wire screen just to the right of the tee box, and a paved path starts after the screen to the right. Take the path and walk 100 yards to where a small sign says Larsen Creek. The trail descends steeply down beside the creek. There are rough steps down the trail nicely edged with wire mesh to stop any slips

a hot summer’s day

and falls. It’s only a five-minute walk. There is a small sandy beach and the view is terrific.

Passage Island can be seen in the distance.

You’d never know Larsen beach was there. It’s totally hidden.

At that time we were carrying a baby around, so many of the trails and hikes I’d heard about, like the Grouse Grind, were out of consideration. I don’t like climbing steep mountain trails at the best of times. Even back then, attractions like Cates Park and Ambleside were quite busy, so I pulled out a map from the car and started to study it carefully. These days you simply type in Google Maps on your phone or computer and zoom in as close as you want. Google Street View brings you up close enough to read street signs. Voila!

Seen from the sea on a kayak, there are literally dozens of beaches along the Shore,

some private and many public. Whytecliff is well known, but try finding a parking place in summer.

Quarry Rock, when I first went, was a secret and now it has security guards stopping the hordes, and Deep Cove suffers from “overtourism.” Then there is the challenge of finding a picnic table or place to eat, because what’s the point of a walk without a snack? Don’t forget to bring a sandwich and a water bottle.

We were sitting on a picnic blanket at Panorama Park (Deep Cove) one time, munching on peanut butter sandwiches, when we learned a very valuable lesson. A family arrived and proceeded to set up shop. Table cloth. Check.

Wicker basket. Check. Wine glasses. Fine food.

Knives and forks. Hey, if you are going to have a picnic, why not do it right? ➞

Picnics in the Wilderburbs

➞ As a travel writer I’ve enjoyed the luxury of visiting literally hundreds of destinations in many countries and writing about “off the beaten track” gems, and seen some change and grow, sometimes not for the better. Joffre Lakes, east of Pemberton, now gets over 100,000 people a year. Yikes! When I wrote about Pemberton for a major newspaper chain, half of the folks I met said “you’re going to ruin our village,” and those in tourism said they were thrilled to be put on the map. The secret lies in the writing, especially in the “where to stay, what to do” category.

Bears and even cougars can be

Most of the secret beaches and picnic places I have found and shared have very little parking. No one is going to want to drive a long way and find no place to park. I usually advise friends to ride a bike, or park elsewhere and walk to the destination.

Most have viewpoints and are accessible to children and the elderly. Mother Nature’s Stairmaster, a.k.a. The Grind, is overrun by grinder’s seeking to escape the pandemic through rugged exercise.

The late great artist Gordon Smith lived in a lovely little cottage on a laneway just next to Lighthouse Park, where the parking lot fills up before noon. My family visited him at the cottage once, and after dinner he pointed out a little path leading down to the ocean far below, accessible only by a set of stairs and a steep walk down the hill. It led to a spectacular series of cliffs where you could sit and watch the sun

There are literally dozens of such gems hidden around the North Shore, and you don’t need to drive all the way to Whistler to enjoy them. Stay home this summer and explore your own back yard. Our own wilderburb is truly a piece of paradise. ◆ Michael McCarthy has been exploring the North Shore for 30 years.

Healthy picnic baskets for the family

■ SHELBY LEWIS

Picnics are undeniably one of the best things about summer. Fortunately you and your family can safely partake in this fun activity if you’re still maintaining physical distancing practices.

I think of building a picnic menu in the same I would any meal, with less fuss and more portability in mind. Here are some simple family-friendly ways to incorporate more nutrition into your picnic baskets this summer!

HOMEMADE DIPS OR SPREADS These are a wonderful way to pack in a lot of nutrition.

Look for recipes that combine vegetables, nuts, herbs, and spices. Use them in a wrap with collards, mound on top of avocado, cucumber, or tomato slices, scooped into a salad or served alongside crackers or sourdough.

Saman Bakery is a local North Shore-based small business that produces incredible macaroons that are super yummy, perfect for a picnic (they’re stable at room temp) and packed with sweetness! As well, Saman Bakery produces Artisan Style Crackers featuring Pumpkin, Almond and Sunflower varieties.

Pair them with a local cheese for a perfect cheese and crackers snack down at the beach.

FERMENTED FOODS Fermented foods offer probiotics, protecting the body’s microbiome and supporting the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut. Look for labels that include live cultures in their ingredients list like pickles, sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, and sourdough.

LOCAL PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT

Try Karthein’s Organic Sauerkraut, an unpasteurized (raw cultured) sauerkraut that contains naturally occurring digestive enzymes and beneficial probiotic bacteria. The product was created by founder Joe Karthein on his small organic farm in B.C.’s West Kootenay region. Try the Simple, Traditional, or Carrots & Ginger varieties.

SEASONAL ORGANIC FRUIT Keep in mind, the fresher the fruit, the more nutrients and antioxidants it will contain. Talk to your grocer to see what’s in season. ◆

Make it fun

◗ Use toothpicks to make mini kebabs – kids love these ◗ Make sandwiches and use cookie cutters to make them into fun shapes ◗ Forget slicing your melon. Bring spoons to eat it right from the skin ◗ Blackberries are everywhere in summer – bring a container and gather some en route to the park

The best picnics don’t require a lot of work or planning. Give yourself and your family a break from the usual cooking and cleaning routine.

Make your dip ahead of time, pack your snacks and enjoy eating your dinner in the warm summer air.

Go outside and ■ JUSTIN BEDDALL

We’re taking Dr. Bonnie Henry’s advice this summer: Go outside and play with your family. So, gather your bubble peeps and let’s explore the North Shore at a safe physical distance.

Fortunately, there’s no shortage of exciting activities and places to explore in this outdoor mecca that is a top destination for nature-lovers, hikers, bikers, paddlers, and adventure seekers of all ages, abilities and interests. Here’s a list to get you started.

Secret SpotS Even if you’re a legit North Shore OG who knows the lyrics of Spirit of the West’s The Crawl by heart, there are probably a few spots you’ve never checked out, including Sandy Cove Park in West Vancouver. If you’re looking for a small, secluded beach to get away from the Ambleside crowds, this is the spot.

But it’s not easy to find. There’s not even a sign. But it’s worth the trek once you’re chilling on the beach staring out at the postcard ocean views from this hidden gem. Bonus: there are washrooms and a shaded grassy area as well. To get there from Park Royal, drive west on Marine for approximately 8 kilometres

play

until you reach a small bridge between Sharon Drive and Rose Crescent. Find parking and descend the wooden staircase beside the bridge that connects with a stone pathway to take you to your final secret destination.

It’s easier to find a secret spot in North Van. Head to Deep Cove Brewers & Distillers (#170-2270 Dollarton Hwy) and order the limited-edition seasonal sour beer called Secret Beach. Here’s the description: “Known only to the locals of Deep Cove lies Secret Beach. Looking out onto the endless crystal-clear waters and rolling mountains, you are instantly transported to your own personal paradise.

Break out your beach chairs and umbrellas and add some tropics to this local secret.”

It’s OK to order another. Just don’t tell anyone.

SpotS for Spot Former DNV signmaker Cameron Stewart had a legendary sense of humour.

One of his classic signs reads: “Attention Dog Guardians: Pick up after your dogs. Thank You. Attention Dogs: Grrrrr, bark, woof. Good Dog.” There are plenty of parks and trails in the district to explore with your BFF (best furry friend), and when you’re roaming, keep your eyes peeled for some of

Stewart’s handiwork for a good laugh. DNV has a total of 17 parks with off-leash trails. For something different, try the multi-use Powerline Trail, which starts at the top of Skyline Drive. Enjoy scenic views and the occasional wildlife sighting as you stroll along this easy, two-kilometre gravel trail towards the Grouse Mountain parking lot, where you can refuel with an iced coffee or snack at Starbucks and plan your next dog-walk.

In the City of North Vancouver, the leash-optional Kings Mill Walk is pretty doggone amazing. Located along the multi-use Spirit Trail, it “is one of the few places in the City that offers water access, views across Burrard Inlet, and an off-leash area.” It’s also just steps from Thomas Haas café, so if you’ve been a good boy, you deserve a treat too.

West Vancouver has also “gone to the dogs!” offering 14 off-leash areas to explore. To learn more about dog-friendly parks and trails in West and North Van, visit the three municipal websites. e-Bike adventureS What’s better than biking around the North Shore?

E-biking around the North Shore! And now, there is no shortage of local e-bike rentals, including Reckless Shipyards (#150-125 Victory Ship Way), where you can rent Bosch-powered Royal Dutch Gazelle eBikes. The Reckless crew will give you ideas on local destinations and also provide guided tours.

Their selection of bikes ranges from comfort and city bikes to mountain bikes and kids’ bikes.

One suggested trip is to picturesque Deep Cove, where you can explore oceanside parks and beaches, rent a canoe or paddleboard or go hiking. Once you’re done, be sure to check out the quaint commercial strip on Gallant Avenue, where you’ll find funky

independent retailers, coffee and gelato shops, and the award-winning Arms Reach Bistro. We suggest the B.C. Organic Beef Burger, with fries.

There are endless bike adventures waiting for you on the Shore, from the Green Necklace and Demonstration Forest to the municipality-spanning Spirit Trail. Just choose your destination, and now you don’t have to worry about tackling those hills anymore!

Mountaintop adventure for faMilieS In the summer, Grouse Mountain transforms into an outdoor playground for families. One of the more recent additions is the Kids Tree Canopy Adventure for kids (3-8), a fully enclosed adventure area with multiple treehouses, slides, ground games and viewing area for parents. Afterwards, the entire family will enjoy a visit to Grouse’s wildlife sanctuary that includes resident grizzly bears Grinder and Coola, the Owl Pavilion and Ranger Talks to learn more about wildlife. Next, it’s time to choose another adventure: self-guided eco walks, an 18-hole disc golf course or ziplines for those who like an adrenaline rush. After a day of adventuring in the clean mountain air, order healthy snacks or large pizza at Lupin’s Café before descending in the tram and returning home for some serious z’s. Wow, what a day. ◆

Strolling the lower North Shore ■ MICHAEL MCCARTHY

Granville Island, before the pandemic, was rated the number two tourist attraction in Canada for its huge number of visitors.

With the U.S. border closed and cruises cancelled things are quiet at the Island these days, but there’s a new competitor in town available to take up the action.

The district formerly referred to as Lower Lonsdale is now open for business as The Shipyards. How long will it be before local citizens and the rest of the Lower Mainland discover this fabulous new destination?

People are staying closer to home this summer and no doubt looking for new and interesting destinations. The Shipyards District certainly fills the bill.

The name refers to the old industrial waterfront where ships were built during the Second World War, but over time the district went downhill. Renovations started a decade ago and today the waterfront is finally filled with new shops, pubs, restaurants, condos, art galleries and soon a museum.

While the focus is on the waterfront, the action doesn’t stop there. All of Lower Lonsdale has been renovated as far as Fourth Street to the north. Where once were seedy bars and decrepit apartments, today hip new restaurants, cafes and condos crowd along the main drag.

Off Lonsdale, from Chesterfield in the west all the way to St. David’s in the east, new businesses and condos have popped up.

Perhaps the most interesting development has been the slow appearance of what is now officially referred to as the Brewery District, where several new craft breweries have opened.

You might want to consider a pub crawl. Starting from ground zero at Lonsdale Quay, Greenleaf Brewing serves up its own craft beers. It’s a quick hop, skip and a crawl over to mighty Tap and Barrel, a smash since it opened (so to speak).

Make sure not to overlook Streetcar Brewery, a small brew pub that is hidden away in the alley behind East First and Lonsdale. Take a peek in the lane and you might see the 15-seat Beer Bike also parked there, a new and novel way to explore the neighbourhood when available.

The tried and true Rusty Gull, now seriously upgraded as the Gull Bar and Kitchen, is just down the block.

Wander down to Esplanade where you’ll find Beere, another craft brew

house. The next block boasts the House of Funk, a brew house and coffee roaster. On the way back, North Point Brewery has opened on First Street near St. Andrews Avenue.

Speaking of coffee roasters, the Shipyards District hosts quite a number of new small cafes roasting their own, as well as many new small restaurants and shops well worth browsing. If you drop into Goodlad on Esplanade you can sip a coffee, get a haircut and get your pants hemmed all at the same location. Try that at Starbucks! ➞

➞ Otherwise, there’s Alchemy at Fourth and Lonsdale, West of Java and Lift at First and Lonsdale, plus Nemesis and Artigiano at the Shipyards itself. Just off the waterfront, don’t forget the Polygon Gallery and the upcoming new North Shore Museum when they are open. If you need a mission rather than a mere ramble, the North Shore Heritage Preservation Society lists a lovely walk of historic houses and commercial buildings in the District.

Everyone knows the hills of San Francisco don’t deter tourists, but Lower Lonsdale can be steep, so if you want gravity on your side you can start at Fourth and Lonsdale and make your way down.

There’s a bus stop and street parking at that corner.

Make sure you stroll by Kiwanis Towers at 170 West Second. Across the street to the south a winding brick path wanders under a canopy of trees. In the spring the

Your downhill walk should end at the Spirit Trail, where the choice is simple: head east or west? Heading east, if you don’t have your own bike drop in to Reckless Rider at the centre of the Shipyards where they’ll rent you one. Forget about buying a bike in the pandemic; they’re all sold out.

The Spirit Trail is a dream to ride.
