Life in Lions Bay

Between Mountain & Sea

Lions Bay feels like a village held between mountain and sea, shaped by old trails, coastal history, and the kind of community people rarely find anymore.

Lions Bay on the map

Lions Bay • Kelvin Grove • Lions Bay Beach • Brunswick Beach • Mountain Trails • Sea to Sky Highway

Lions Bay sits on the eastern shore of Howe Sound, just north of Horseshoe Bay along the Sea to Sky Highway. It is one of the first places where the corridor begins to feel truly wild, where the road hugs the coastline, the mountains rise steeply above the water, and the city starts to feel far behind you.

The village is built into the mountainside, with homes rising above the shoreline and many properties capturing sweeping views across Howe Sound. Below, Lions Bay Beach, Kelvin Grove Beach and Brunswick Beach offer different versions of coastal life, from village beach days to quieter natural shoreline. Above, the trails climb into the forest and mountains, connecting residents to some of the most memorable hiking in the region.

Lions Bay has always been shaped by movement through the landscape, old mountain routes, boat access, the arrival of the railway and highway, and the gradual evolution from summer cottages to a permanent village community. Today, it remains small, distinct and deeply place-based.

What makes Lions Bay so memorable is the contrast: it feels private and peaceful, yet connected; small in size, yet surrounded by an enormous landscape. It is not quite city, not quite wilderness, it is something beautifully in between.
