Oakley Sunglasses Giveaway
The weather is always a hot topic in Vancouver, from rainbows and flash hail storms to general comments on the sunshine or the rain. It’s been a gorgeous week of sunshine in Vancouver and leading up to the long weekend, I think that’s something that locals can definitely get used to.
Oakley Canada would like to help out by providing eyewear for one Miss604 reader who will win one of the four pairs of sunglasses listed below.
Overtime (Women)

Radar Edge (Women)
2. Oakley Radar Edge gives athletes an extra edge over the competition. The latest addition to the popular toric shield series has a more rounded frame for even better coverage. With a simple silhouette and vibrant color palette (think Shortcake and Mellow Yellow), Oakley Radar Edge is as beautiful as it is hard working. Value: $200

With Oakley Switchlock(TM) Technology, Racing Jacket(R) takes all the clarity, convenience and comfort of Oakley Jawbone(TM) and cranks up style with icons you can change whenever the mood strikes you.

I like English Bay.
Stanley Park
Summer is here! I like to soak up the sun in point grey, while playing with the dog at the off leash beach!
Second Beach pool at Stanley Park
well it’s in surrey but i love tynehead!
Surrey works! Tynehead is great.
Awesome! I LOVE OAKLEY!
Stanley Park is the place to be… just find a sunny spot and lie down (but don’t forget your Oakley shades! 😉
False Creek — being on the water for Dragon Boat practice is a fun place to be to soak up the sun! Having a pair of Oakley’s would help with the reflection too 😉
Reed Point Marina in Port Moody
I love walking around Steveston in the summer! Fantastic views of the river!
Sasamat lake is the best!
On the volleyball courts at Spanish Banks Beach.
Ahhhhh…. anywhere can be a good one, but if I have to pick just one, I love it in Kits, passing the volleyball are, near the small parking lot. Beautiful view of the beach from there and usually less crowded.
Stanley Park!
Kits Beach, Spanish Banks…and in my backyard in Steveston 🙂
Stanley Park Seawall!

My fave place to soak up the sun is the seawall!
My dog and I love the off leash parks in Vancouver… Balaclava is probably our favourite.
I love kits beach.
Its the perfect place to sit, run, play, or catch some gnarly rays. The parking and pretension are a bit of a pain, but it definitely beats the bummin rain 😉
You just can’t go wrong with Third Beach along the Seawall!
I love Jericho beach.
any place outside
Stanley Park!
Love my Oakley Fuel Cells, and their footwear is awesome too.
White Pine beach (Sasamat) Belcarra I love the Overtime glasses…they are perty!
My favourite place in all of Vancouver to soak up the sun is 100% Spanish Banks – right near the dog beach because my dog loves soaking up the sun too!
I’m sure it will be mentioned a thousand times but nothing beats walking your dog on the seawall, iced latte in hand.
I love the beaches in Vancouver and playing tennis in public tennis courts! I particularly love Kits Beach which has both 🙂
Crescent beach in White Rock!
Tynehead with my friends, best spot in Van!
english bay of course
I like Pitt Lake. Either soaking up the sun on the boat or in the water wakeboarding (sunglasses not recommended while wakeboarding though!) 🙂
My favorite place to soak up the sun is definitely spanish banks…so beautiful and relaxing!
Forever and always, Steveston – quiet, stunning and offers the best fries!
Just lost my sunglasses and would love a new pair!
On my bike riding to horseshoe bay along marine
SpanIsh banks!!
Ambleside Beach

Lovely spot, not too busy.
Needing a new pair of shades to help my views of the ocean, mountains, and all the people that make the Stanley Park seawall such a fantastic place to soak up the sun!!
South Arm water park Richmond, so much fun 🙂
On a patio at a waterfront restaurant with a nice tall glass of ice cold happiness!!!

Either the dog beach at Spanish Banks, or there’s nothing wrong with my own balcony!

Well Stanley Park of course! No better place 🙂
We’re making the rounds of all the parks in Metro Vancouver…so far, Stanley Park is at the top of the list!
I don’t want to tell you because then everyone will go there. hehehe. Of course, it’s Centennial Beach in Tsawwassen.
English Bay
My favorite place to soak up some rays in Vancouver is just west of Sunset Beach at the south end of Nicola St. downtown. I think the small grassy hill there offers the best views of Vancouver in the summer.
On the patio at Jericho sailing club with a cold beverage. Best city view patio in town.
My balcony!
Since we are renting a house and have just moved in and after not having a one for so long I will have to say my backyard!
Pretty much anywhere in Vancouver is awesome when the sun is out! The beaches in Kits are great, though.
any hiking trail… esp Deep Cove for a sunday stroll
rocky point, port moody
English Bay!
Sipping beverages of all kinds of course while tanning beside my pool!!
English Bay!
Jericho Beach – well, Locarno really, just west of the jetty and the sailing club. Perfect sandy beach for toddlers to play with buckets and spades and paddle in the water while adults sit and relax, and plenty of shade nearby in the grassy park. And the views aren’t too bad either…
cates park! great place to bbq and chill by the water.
kits beach
Favourite sun spots are Third Beach, Whytecliff Park and Lighthouse Park. Aahhhh!
Every year we try and get piece of grass in the same spot at the Vancouver Folk Fest. We lay out a blanket between to stages and I spend most of the day soaking up the sun and tunes. That’s is my favourite. For the rest of the summer it is by the water teaching my son (and myself) to fish.
English Bay!
It’s a tie between soaking up the sun while I run around False Creek and soaking up the sun on any patio pretty much anywhere in Vancouver with a cold Granville Island beer. (Wait, why choose?! A run THEN a patio!)
On the roof top of an apartment that has a view of English Bay.
Anywhere my bicycle will take me!
Any restaurant deck with plenty of g & ts and zero attitude!
On the seawall, running.
Third beach on a hot day soaking up the sun but gotta protect the eyes, don’t forget the oakleys 🙂

Second Beach: there’s a playground, big grassy area, pool and beach. There’s something to suit everyone’s sun-soaking pleasure!
There are a few nice beaches in the Lower Mainland, but I really like my back yard. I can let the drinks flow without the worry of driving after and I don’t have to fight any large crowds. Win win situation! ~_^

Vanier park
Nothing better than some rays on Fraserview golf course. And a beer of course
Definitely Stanley Park!

Lots of great places in Vancouver, but I’d have to go with my friend’s apartment balcony overlooking English Bay
Rocky Point Park or up at Cultus Lake.
UBC! during the summer time, UBC is best place to soak up the sun! OF course, sunscreen and hat and sunglasses are MUST while staying outside for long period of time 🙂 The green trees waving in a row when the cool breeze blow the leaves back and forth.. and yet the warmth of sunlight keeps you warm 🙂 It is best place to soak up the sun !!!!! Also, most of students are away on summer vacation so the quietness and peaceful scenery is perfect way to enjoy the summer weather in Vancouver ! Why is summer only 2-3 months in Vancouver :(:(:(
Any Off Leash Dog Beach !

Let’s face it, when the weather is like this, ANY place in the lower mainland is a GREAT place to soak up the sun! We live in fantastically scenic corner of the world. I do enjoy chillin’ in my own backyard though. BBQ, chilled beverages & zero gravity chairs. Perfect.
