The Pressure is already on to get into or stay in shape.  The necessity to have a great beach body doesn’t subside this summer as Vancouver’s Kitsilano Beach is voted one of the Sexiest in North America by Forbes Traveler Magazine.  (I regret skipping my workout tonight.)

A recent CBC article boasts the following:

“The sexy status may come as no surprise to many Vancouverites, who have known for some time that “Kits Beach,” as the locals call it, is one of the city’s hottest spots for people-watching in summer months.

Now it appears the world is waking up to some of the city’s stunning attractions, and it’s no longer just the stunning views of the local mountains garnering praise from sightseers.

Vancouver’s popular Kit’s Beach on the shores of English Bay heats up on a sunny summer day. (CBC)In its annual listing of North America’s sexiest beaches, the travel magazine praises “the hedonistic frenzy that graces Vancouver’s Kitsilano Beach when the July and August sun heats this intoxicating nexus of sea, forest and mountains.”


The magazine ranks the people-watching on the prime Vancouver waterfront in the same league as more famous surfside hangouts like South Beach in Miami, Fla., Laguna Beach in Orange County, Calif., and Ka’anapali Beach in Maui, Hawaii. Kits Beach comes up third in the magazine’s online slide show.”
