Burrard Street Bridge and False Creek Vancouver

Vancouver's Burrard Street Bridge, built during the height of the 1930s depression, acts as the entrance to False Creek. So named because rather than being a creek False Creek is a highly prized and thus highly priced (real estate wise) lagoon.

Frequented by weekend boaters, nightly party boats, urban ferries, dolphins, bay seals, and grey as well as killer whales.

Skinny dipping do-able (it's not polluted) but not recommended (killer whales).
