White Rock
Relax on the sandy beaches and waterfront restaurants
White Rock with its sandy beaches, warmest water temperatures on the coast, red brick promenade, waterfront eateries and dramatic sunsets has become known as the Jewel of BC. Located in the southwest corner of the province, White Rock offers a variety of leisure activities such as swimming, kayaking, windsurfing, crab fishing, sailing, and golfing, or simply strolling along the beach piers. A moderate climate makes the area a popular retirement spot and home to the highest population of residents over the age of 75.
