White Rock

A picturesque seaside town tucked into the Lower Mainland's sunny southern coastline, White Rock is known as the jewel of British Columbia. The sandy beaches and leafy trains, the vibrant, colourful stretch of waterfront businesses, the fresh produce and seafood available, and the seasonal flowers blooming all around town draw visitors to the area and create a friendly, small-town atmosphere.

Attractions/Activities

• Waterfront Promenade & Pier. For those who would rather enjoy White Rock's spectacular views from the water front, Marine Drive offers plenty of scenic seating areas along the red brick waterfront promenade. And don't miss the opportunity to stroll along the famous pier which stretches out 475m (1,559 ft) into Semiahmoo Bay.
• White Rock Museum & Archives. White Rock's heritage is proudly displayed in the White Rock Museum and Archives, which is housed in the historic train station alongside the promenade.
• Peace Arch Park. Unique in British Columbia's system of provincial parks, Peace Arch Park is the only park that straddles the 49th parallel. Dedicated in 1921, the Peace Arch was built on the international boundary between Canada and the United States to commemorate the lasting peace between the two countries.
