Sombrio beach is one of the best beaches and places to visit in Vancouver. Yet, it is severely underrated due to the harsh terrain and off roads it takes to get to the beach. It is a great spot for surfers because of the luscious waves.


Why you need to go: There is sand and trees everywhere makes this beach a cozy spot for a relaxing day. There is a hidden waterfall that very few people know about. Campers also love this spot due to the surroundings and the very few people who visit the beach.
