It lies northwest of Port Moody and immediately east of the Deep Cove area of North Vancouver, across the waters of Indian Arm. Isolated by geography on a narrow peninsula, Belcarra is accessible by a single winding paved road or by water. It is largely a residential bedroom community for Vancouver and its suburbs. Belcarra is the only community in this area that is not growing substantially. Even neighbouring Anmore, another tiny community has grown and changed, but Belcarra has not. With a population of just over 700, it has the lowest population of any independent settlement in the Vancouver area. Ralph Drew has won the last two municipal elections by acclamation and retained his mayorship. Many residents in Belcarra have boats and even houses that are not on the water are sometimes able to procure a shared dock. Belcarra Regional Park winds its way through the village. External links
