If you are up for a challenge, consider taking a hike up Grouse Grind, "Nature's stairmaster". It is only open during the Summer, and it is a very very challenging climb up the mountain. You have been warned!

One of the more interesting places in Vancouver. A nudist beach just beside a university. But don't worry, nudity is not a requirement. It is well hidden from the public due to trees and the long hike down the stairs to the beach. Be prepared with food and drinks to spend most of the day there, but it will be well worth it!
