Linger on the sandy shores or wade into the shallow lakes of Whistler's beaches. No tides, currents or sharp rocks will disturb your swim through clear waters. Pack your favourite foods and enjoy a picnic or barbecue at the shore.
Many of Whistler's beaches also offer kayak or canoe rentals. Some have volleyball and tennis courts. Whistler beaches are easily accessible and feature great amenities for families, including kids' play areas.
