Due to unknown TransLink bus routes servicing this area directly, specific transit directions cannot be provided. However, visitors may consider taking a SkyTrain to a central Vancouver station and connecting to a bus that services Point Grey Road, followed by a walk to the beach. Jericho Beach is also accessible via the scenic Vancouver Seawall, making it a great destination for cyclists.
