Feb 11, 2024 · Why visit Granville Island? The reason why you should visit Granville Island is because it’s a great market, art gallery, and restaurant district offering a wide range of unique culinary and shopping experiences found only on the West Coast.
The Public Market may be the number one reason to visit Granville Island. The Market features rows upon vendors selling produce, seafood, meats, arts, crafts, and countless other foods and wares from their tightly packed stalls, counters, and cases.
- Granville Island Public Market. The Public Market is, simply put, a large building overflowing with food! There are stalls and tables filled with fresh fruit, seafood, and meat locally sourced.
- Street Performers. I don’t remember ever going to Granville Island and not seeing a street performer. Normally, there is one in front of the Public Market, and another behind it (as well as other spots all over Granville Island).
- Seawall. Granville Island is surrounded by the Seawall. The Seawall is the world’s largest uninterrupted waterfront path. It is 28km or 17mi and goes from Stanley Park to Spanish Banks Park (near the University of British Columbia).
- Aquabus Ferries. On a dock behind the Public Market, you will find the Aquabus Ferries. For a few dollars, you can ride these ferries all over False Creek (from the Burrard Street Bridge to Science World).
It’s a must to visit this great place. There is a huge market with fresh food, merchandise & restaurants, also specialty stores. Perfect place to visit for 1/2 a day. The market place opens before the specialty stores; don't go too early if you are going for the specialty stores.
