I did an after-meetings walk at the Third Beach in Stanley Park, Vancouver. Very nice area. Dipped into the sea as well.
More information about the Third Beach here. The coordinates are N 49.30418 W 123.15691.
Do check out also the whole shoreline at Stanley Park, including for instance Elek Imredy's bronze sculpture "Girl in a Wetsuit" on the other side of the peninsula from the Third Beach (link). And check the beautiful Siwash Rock north of the Third Beach as well (link). I also loved the Beaver Lake (swamp) and the forests were absolutely spectacular!
I've previously swam also nearby at English Bay (article, alt. link).

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
