North Shore (Greater Vancouver)

The North Shore of Burrard Inlet is a term commonly used to refer to several areas adjacent to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada: It is renowned for its proximity to nature, varied outdoor recreation opportunities (especially mountain biking) as well as historically significant west coast modernist architecture.

The only other road access is by way of Highway 99 from the north or the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal from Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast.

As of 2025,[update] it hosts a passenger rail route between North Vancouver and Jasper, Alberta, that is operated by Rocky Mountaineer, a private luxury rail-tour company.
