    Granville Island

    In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. Things are a little different today—Granville Island is both a locals’ favorite and a huge draw for visitors. Technically a sandbar and not an island, the neighborhood sits just south of the downtown peninsula, right under the Granville Bridge. The Granville Island Public Market acts as a hub of activity and it’s also one of the city’s most important cultural districts with theatres, artisan workshops and craft studios.Enjoy your time here to shop or just to enjoy a wonderful meal. Many restaurants for you to choose from.
