Locals call it "West End, best end" — here are the 7 things to do, in countdown order: 7. Rent a bike — multiple rental shops on Denman, and the Stanley Park seawall is just a few pedals away. 6. Movie in the Park — Evo Car Share's Summer Cinema runs Tuesday nights at Second Beach (bring a blanket, sweater and your dog), until August 30, with past films like The Little Mermaid and Purple Rain. 5. Taste the West End — a booming culinary scene from niche joints to farm-to-table restaurants. 4. Ramen Row binge — on Robson and Denman, get your Japanese noodle fix. 3. Stanley Park stroll — voted the World's Best Park in 2014, literally in the neighbourhood's backyard. 2. Hit the beach — Sunset Beach, English Bay, Second Beach (outdoor pool) and Third Beach. 1. Celebrate on Davie Street — the colourful, LGBTQ+ friendly entertainment strip that's the heart of the West End.
