Hammond Bay
The feel of the place
Hammond Bay is where you go when you want an ocean view from the kitchen. Rolling oceanfront streets, a mix of 80s splits and newer builds, walking trails down to Neck Point Park. Not downtown — but that's the whole point.
Best for
- Empty-nesters downsizing from Vancouver's West Side
- Anyone willing to trade walkability for an ocean view
- Boaters, paddlers, and beach-walkers
Worth knowing
- Car-dependent — no real commercial centre in the neighbourhood
- Oceanfront homes mean salt air; budget extra for exterior maintenance
- Bluff homes: check the geotechnical report carefully
