Second Beach Concession, nestled in the picturesque Stanley Park, has quickly made a name for itself among locals and visitors alike. With an inviting atmosphere and friendly staff, it’s the perfect stop for beachgoers. Customers rave about the Korean hotdog, a delightful twist that adds a spicy edge to the typical concession fare.

The cheeseburger, praised by Jānis, stands out for its juiciness, perfectly complemented by crispy fries.

Food is great quality, we have had many things over the last year. The fruit popsicles are amazing, lemonade always hits the spot and I’m in love with the burger and chicken burger! They are exactly what you want on a nice day at the beach, and the prices are really fair. It’s worth the walk even, in my opinion.

Perfect Beach Snack Spot After a sunny swim at the pool, I was starving — and this place totally delivered. Grabbed a chicken teriyaki bowl and a mango smoothie, and both were surprisingly fresh and tasty for a concession stand. The staff were quick and friendly, and it was awesome to just chill on the grass after. Total summer vibe.
