West Bay
Area Pulse

West Bay is one of West Vancouver's most exclusive and least-known waterfront communities—a small residential area situated on the south-facing shoreline between Dundarave and Horseshoe Bay, tucked into a sheltered bay that provides direct ocean access from a handful of remarkable properties. West Bay Road and the marine-facing lanes constitute a tiny community whose name is known primarily to those who live there or actively seek it out.

The neighbourhood's scale is intimate—a small number of homes front the water directly, with additional properties set back on the slope above. Many properties here feature private access to the rocky shoreline and unobstructed views across the Strait of Georgia to Point Grey, Vancouver Island, and the Gulf Islands. The seawall path passes through the neighbourhood, connecting west to Caulfeild and east to Dundarave.

Properties at West Bay represent some of the most exclusive and expensive real estate in Metro Vancouver, with waterfront homes typically trading from $6M to $15M+. The neighbourhood's extreme scarcity, direct ocean access, and spectacular setting make it one of the region's most coveted addresses for those who know it.
