A twenty-minute drive from downtown Vancouver, the Point Grey campus of the university is near several beaches and has views of the local mountains. The 7.63 km² Pacific Spirit Regional Park serves as a green-belt between the campus and the city. UBC, along with Pacific Spirit Regional Park and the residential community of University Hill, form the University Endowment Lands, which technically does not fall within Vancouver's city limits.
