White
Rock Beach or West
Beach is located just two miles north of
the US border and only 35 minutes south of the City
of Vancouver, BC.
White Rock is known for it's sandy
beaches, stunning sunsets and fair weather. The 1,500 ft. long White Rock pier is a favorite destination spot for tourists and residents, and the 2.5km long beach promenade promises strollers a refreshing walk and connects west beach and east beach at the ocean's side.
East Beach is the closest White Rock Beach
to the US
border with both the Semiahmoo Park and Reserve
as it's neighbors. East
Beach is the quieter side of White Rock and has
a familial ambiance that appeals to the young and
the old alike. You may enjoy fish & chips on the beach, visit Marine Drive shops and galleries or dine in at one of many White Rock restaurants.
Crescent Beach in nearby South Surrey, is located at the end of Crescent
Road near the northern end of Semiahmoo Bay and the
mouth of the Nicomekl River'. This beach has a more
rustic, natural feel with a graveled seaside promenade,
quaint ocean side homes, and a variety of bistros that
will please most every palate.
Crescent Rock Naturist Beach is just South of
Crescent Beach. You walk past the 101 steps metal staircase
(West end of 24th Ave) until you get to the Crescent
Rock Boulder. It's like the White Rock, but a little
smaller, only 120 tonnes! Just past this point and for
the next 200m is Crescent Rock Naturist Beach. This
area has been used by nudists for the past fifty years
for sunbathing and skinny-dipping. Clothing is optional from May 15th
to Sept 15th, to coincide with the dog-free period. |
