Attraction field notes
Hadden Beach
A sandy off-leash beach where Tilly discovered the sea and seemed to find her happy place.
The short version
We arrived in Vancouver too early to check into our Airbnb, so Hadden Beach became our first stop. It was Tilly's first experience in an off-leash dog area with access to the water.
She was extraordinarily excited to run across the sand and into the waves. We enjoyed it so much that we brought her back the following afternoon for another swim and run.
The dog details
Tilly played in the designated off-leash beach area in July 2024. Check current City of Vancouver boundaries, hours and seasonal rules before visiting.
