Burrard Inlet
Burrard Inlet opens west into the Strait of Georgia between Point Atkinson and Point Grey. Vancouver's Downtown Peninsula protrudes northwesternly into the inlet, separating it into the wide outer Burrard Inlet to the west and the elongated inner Burrard Inlet to the east. The southeastern portion of the outer Inlet is an open bay known as English Bay, which has a narrow eastern inlet called False Creek. The -wide strait between Prospect Point and the sandbanks just east of the Capilano River mouth, which connects the Inlet's outer and inner sections, is known as its First Narrow, traversed by the Lions Gate Bridge. The inner Inlet then widens into Vancouver Harbour, which hosts the Port of Vancouver, Canada's largest port.
