We left Sunset Beach and made our way over to Long Beach. We assumed that this must've been one of the best beaches as there was barely a place to stand for people. We checked out the area and sampled the water but later found that the people were just securing their seats for the fireworks show that was happening at 10pm (bear in mind it was only 2pm at the time, mighty eager dont you think?!).
This must have been one of the major attractions here because the entire beach and surrounding streets were crammed with thousands of people. There was literally nowhere to stand.
The show was grand enough. It was an international fireworks competition that spanned many nights, each country competing to put on the best show. This evening was the turn of Italy and they spared no sparkle.
On the way home there was a sea of people, all leaving at the same time. It was like the entire population of Vancouver was leaving at the same time. We felt like we were on some kind of march like when football fans leave a match back home.
