Even in the rainy days of February, the sun occasionally shines offering beautiful early evening sunsets and a reminder that summer days are not far away. With the average sunset time between 5pm and 6pm in February and early March, it's the perfect time of a year to enjoy happy hour and watch the sun go down. Located directly on or overlooking the beach, these Vancouver restaurants offer the best winter sunset views and happy hour specials.
