Officials in Vancouver have designated nine beaches as unsafe for swimming due to high levels of E. coli.


E. coli is a bacterium that can cause infections.


The beaches that are closed are:

  • Ambleside Beach

  • Wreck Beach Trail 4

  • English Bay

  • Kitsilano Beach

  • Second Beach

  • Sunset Beach

  • Third Beach

  • Lions Bay

  • Trout Lake


Higher than expected E. coli has been detected at Dundarave Beach, Sandy Beach, and Eagle Harbour, but swimming is not restricted at this time.
