| Coal Harbour is the name for a section of Burrard Inlet lying between Vancouver, Canada's downtown peninsula and the Brockton Peninsula of Stanley Park. It is also in recent years the name of the neighbourhood adjacent to its southern shoreline, which was redeveloped as an upscale high-rise condominium district in the 1990s.
The harbour is bounded by the Financial District to the south and Stanley Park to the north. To the east is Deadman's Island, the site of the naval station/museum HMCS Discovery, where the harbour opens up to the Burrard Inlet. The discovery of coal in the harbour in 1862 inspired the name. Within the harbour is a floating gas station for marine vessels.
Coal Harbour is home to Vancouver Harbour Water Aerodrome, located a few blocks from Canada Place.
| The area offers great views of the North Shore mountains, Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge and east to Canada Place and the port beyond. With its close proximity to Stanley Park, Denman Street, Robson Street and Vancouver's financial core, Coal Harbour is fast becoming one of Vancouver's preferred neighborhoods.
A beautifully landscaped walkway connects Coal Harbour to the Stanley Park seawall giving residents easy access to the parks' running and bike trails. There is also a community center, playgrounds, a marina, a children's water park and several restaurants accessible from the seaside walkway. Float plane service from the foot of Burrard Street allows Coal Harbour residents a convenient means of reaching Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and points beyond. Vancouver's downtown heliport is also just minutes away--making Whistler, Victoria and Seattle a short helicopter commute from home. Check out this map to familiarize yourself with the neighborhood!
