The Capilano River Hatchery was completed in 1971 to strengthen the declining Capilano salmon population, affected by the construction of the Cleveland Dam. Beyond its ecological role, the hatchery is a major tourist attraction. The educational center is open daily, giving locals and visitors a chance to learn more about the salmon life cycle. See the Capilano River Hatchery official website for opening hours and when you can see the salmon depending on the season.

The easiest thing to do is rent a snorkel and explore the shallow waters by the beach, but you should definitely consider trying something more advanced at least once. Snorkelling is the cheapest choice. Add some diving equipment to go deeper and see more. Some tours now offer Sea Trek helmets — a modern take on the diving helmet. No matter your choice of equipment, do explore the coral reefs that are home to tropical fish such as snapper, hamlets, parrot fish, sturgeon, squirrel fish and majestic sea turtles.
