Granville Island

In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. At one time, its official name was Industrial Island. But today, things couldn't be more different. Activity is centred at the Granville Island Public Market, with its bevy of merchants selling seafood, fresh produce, cheese and breads. Families gravitate to the nearby Kid's Market with its stores and exhibits tailored to the little ones, while art collectors are amazed at the plethora of galleries permeating the island. This is the perfect place to enjoy a sunset dinner oceanside, where sailboats and other vessels are docked.
