Some rides take you somewhere. This one takes you through everything.

Delta’s Barns to Beaches bike route spans 16km, pedaling through Ladner’s farmland and Tsawwassen shorelines and beaches. Prepare to pass quintessential red-roofed barns, quiet dyke trails, and a shoreline that thousands of migrating birds call a rest stop.

It’s flat, it’s easy, and it’s the kind of ride you do slowly, on purpose.

Barns to Beaches Suggested Stops

  

📍Barnside Brewing Co. is a farm destination taproom featuring cold pints, warm barnwood, and a patio gazing over hop fields that contribute to the very beer you’re sipping, along with a delightful local-ingredient-infused menu. Their award-winning patio is open year-round, with the bonus of heaters overhead to keep you cozy and content.

📍Boundary Bay is part of the Pacific Flyway, one of the busiest bird migration corridors on the continent. Keep your eyes up as herons and raptors are regulars, and depending on the season, you might catch tens of thousands of shorebirds moving through at once.

📍Centennial Beach gives you a reason for a scenic break. Take in expansive shoreline views while enjoying pub-like fish & chips at High Tide Social, open daily with an all-new all-day breakfast on the menu.

📍Southlands, Tsawwassen is Tsawwassen’s agri-hood. Farm-to-table stops and the Four Winds Beach House Brewery make this the natural place to linger over craft brews, refresh with ice cream at Cookies or kick back with a London Fog at L’Aromas Coffee House.
