Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
Very quiet and friendly area in Forest By the Bay neighbourhood of Tsawwassen. 10-minute walk on the level to shops and restaurants. Tennis, Pickleball and two golf courses are all nearby, also churches and many local parks plus Boundary Bay Regional Park with lengthy dike walks or bike rides, bird watching (part of the Pacific Flyway) including bald eagles, herons, snow geese. The popular Reifel Bird Sanctuary is a short drive away. Beach and water activities are close. Easily accessible by car or transit to YVR airport, city of Vancouver and a pleasant drive to the mountains of north shore and Whistler. Also only 10-minutes by car to ferries for Vancouver Island (Victoria, Butchart Gardens etc.) and the Gulf Islands, and 30 minutes to the U.S.A. border then a 2 hour drive to Seattle, Washington. Vancouver has so many sights to enjoy they are too numerous to mention here but more details can be forwarded if you are interested. The city is so multi-cultural that virtually every ethnic food group is available to sample!
