Cons
Because of its isolation and remoteness, Lions Bay in West Vancouver can be challenging to reach for basic amenities and services, and the cost of living is relatively high. The hamlet is also located in a mountainous area, which puts it at risk for landslides and other natural disasters. A sense of community or social involvement may be difficult to find because of the population's small size.
