And if I may to csaba's comment, the seawall bordering Stanley Park from English Bay through to Coal Harbour and into waterfront section downtown Vancouver also offer good photo op locations........ :)

Thanks, Mike. The beaches on the South side of the English bay are very easy to access by car, bike (my favorite) or by foot and often offers a dramatic background with the North Sore mountains.

The english bay anchorage seems to be a nice photo location for shipsotting. Good pictures, best regards, Mike.
