Sightseeing

Be sure to check out the vibrant beach front scene with a walk along the WR promenade and pier. See kayakers, crabbers, a harbour seal or two...even some crazy youth jumping off the pier rail into the sea! Parallel to Marine Dr, you will find an abundance of shops and restaurants along the waterfront. Other highlights include the White Rock Museum and Archives, a beautiful stand of Haida and Coast Salish totems, and who could forget the beloved "Big White Rock".

Parks & Nature

Crescent Beach is a charming local community with a beautiful beach front walk. Great for kids as the bay keeps the water calm. Jump from the pier, have an ice cream, or settle in for a longer visit with a meal at a seaside cafe or restaurants. For a longer walk head past the pier and enjoy the lowland trails of Blackie Spit at the mouth of the Nicomekl River.
