Ana Campos Santin

A really relaxing place and such a nice view

Charly Ranu

Went here on a beautiful sunny day...3 star rating. Could use more areas of shade, but all in all a good experience.

Manasa

A good place to visit. The view from the dock is beautiful. We could see mountains on one side and the city on the other side, which was a special sight to see.

Steve Noel

Great tourist or day out with the family location. Lots of accessible parking and bathrooms along the beach. They have COVID-19 measures in place that are for the most part followed along the sidewalks and paths. Vendors are out currently too! Only sketchy part was the pier where people were not social distancing.

Hi Hi

The view on the white rock is amazing and I suggest coming here when night falls

John Crossley

Beautiful scenery, great restaurants, I want to live here.

kathryn stewart

Always a pleasure, great spot for locals and tourists alike in either rain or shine!

Donna Herzfeldt-Kamprath

The longest pier - it's a nice walk even on a blustery day. You can see the white rock and read a lot of local history along the way. We did not have time to walk to the rock.

Kyle

Nice lights along the pier. Great place for a walk!

GI WON PARK

Super nice. Just sad that the white rock was vandalized:(

Dominic Tam

Wonderful place to just relax and walk around

E Soby

Loved it here so much. The atmosphere is beyond beautiful.

Bill Mackie

Beautiful town on a beautiful day. Teenagers diving off the pier, bars and bistros open and welcoming. Fine place to visit.

Andy Avik

An amazing walk during any season it's beautiful

Puneet Dhawan

Love to walk around this area and view of sunset is stunning here

Donald Forbes

This is a city that leaves you with the sense that it's a coastal village in the winter. I imagine in the summer it would be complete chaos, but in the evening close to winter the foot traffic gives you the sense that a tiny village dwells here, the people smile and walk casually never seeming to be in a rush, while the store fronts are open and inviting. The traffic in the summer and warmer months must be ridiculously hectic! But our day, a few days before christmas this oceanfront area is very welcoming.

Mark Kyslik

The rock itself is... well... it's a rock. The view of the ocean on the other hand is great and is a great place for both dates and family adventures! Make sure to walk down the pier

J C

Nice section of stores. Lots of pay parking. Good beach and long pier.

Ali Mehrizi

Beautiful and very long (longest in Canada as they say on the sign) pier. Worth a visit. Lots of little shops too. Very close to the US border with beautiful views of Mount Baker.

Sparkling Ice

Great place to walk around and a bunch of nice shops and restaurants.

Colin Broughton

Beautiful place to visit, any season, no matter the weather.

Anish Somani

Lovely place and such cold breeze ????

White Rock is an iconic place and a must visit for anyone visiting the Greater Vancouver area. It has amazing restaurants just beach facing, where you can dine in during normal times but even during COVID restrictions you can takeout food and then eat it alone on the beach or public seating places.

Love this city so much. its becoming so busy so many sky rises yet the same infustructure and emergency services. The beach is amazing the restaurants that have stuck around are the only good ones.. all the others are garbage.

Tera Esplin

Beautiful place so many things to enjoy and look at I highly recommend. Very nice tourist attraction

Gale Frost

Yanina Veroqui

lee kelly

Lovely place to chill and watch life go bye

Ashley Hird

Went for a beautiful walk down by the big white rock masks on as always skipped a couple rocks on water for fun saw some cool things along the way

Jamie Sumpter

Words can never describe the sheer beauty of White Rock. The pier was so amazing it's was breathtaking. The beach and surrounding area is clean with large sidewalks for everyone to enjoy taking in the ocean right before us. The huge "White Rock" that sits just off the shore was pretty neat. We are so lucky to live in British Columbia it truly is one of the most beautiful places on earth. If you are travelling to BC this is a place you should put in the agenda to at least spend the day you won't regret it.

Will Burton

If you are in White Rock, go check out the actual white rock. The pier is open again after being ravaged by a crazy storm a while ago, which really just goes to show that you should not take ANYthing for granted!! Grab some fish and chips, chill and enjoy!! While me and my lovely mummins were here, there was some sort of celebration of life where some peeps waded out into the water and lit off some full-moon fireworks. Truly. Magical. #synchronicity is REAL!

Carolin Kertzig

Lovely spot with a great view day and night. Also a lot of nice restaurant around.

Mohammad Al Masalma

When the sky meets the water. The sea inhabits the land of calm. Find yourself a time of rest and relaxation in this place

Abhay Dhir

One of the best placea to visit. Had very less time but still went there. The bus services are a bit slow but you will still enjoy being there. Walked on the beach and spent time there. You can also collect shells and pearls there. A lot of places to eat nearby. The view is beautiful and must to visit place if you are tourist in British Columbia.

Gerardo Arguello

Dominic Faria

The white Rock and pier or a wonderous landmark of White Rock, the city by the sea! Enjoy walking along the beach, walk the promenade, and enjoy a stroll on Canada's longest pier!! Take in beautiful views and the sweet salty smell of the ocean. Plenty of eats to enjoy for the foodie (whether your a sweet tooth, comfort foodie or prefer the savory), gorgeous spot for beach goers and relaxing meditative spot for your walk or run. Also where the Polar Plunge is held each year this year having marked the 50th anniversary! It is a place that will give you memories to cherish each time you visit, and keep you wanting to come back!

B R

Very cool place for walk along the sea ( on pedestrian sidewalk)!

NZP Chasers - Skystock

Definitely a place to go when passing through the area, lots of history there!

Nipun Joshi

Beautiful place to enjoy sunsets.....

Aliya Weening

Really the ideal place to go in fancy dresses in the middle of the night to run down the stairs and walk the pier. Feel like the main character again. Pier gets really slippery when it's cold, but that's okay. I haven't been during the day for years, but it's nice then too. Pay parking only takes credit card or cash ????

Matthew Billy

A friendly place to go for a stroll, enjoy a meal or a snack, or grab a drink and relax. Too many excellent icecream and gelato stores to mention, excellent for keeping the waits short.

Helena Brown

Beautiful backdrops for pictures. Pier is damaged because of the recent ferocious wind storm. Many boats still washed up on to the beach.

Jeremy W

I've been climbing this rock for 40 years and I can still do it! Woo-hoo.

Greek Filipino

Awesome place to go for walk that offer spectacular view of the ocean. Good for kids and family. They have public washroom, picnic tables and benches. At the pier area is quite busy. Everywhere on the area is pay parking. Great place to catch and enjoy the sunset. ????????????

Matt Morin

This place is a great walk along the beach. Lots of room. To walk off the path and enjoy some great ocean scenery. Will always go here for a walk rain or shine.

Ivana Kresojevic

I love love love White Rock! Beautiful walk near ocean, pier, birds.. restaurants... day or night, it's amazing especially because of all the lights.. and I believe this is a place to show off if you have a cool car.. like a car promenade.

Mr. black

Great place to visit, lots of fish and chips, shops and long board walk. When the tide is out. You can play with the kids on the sand. Paid parking. So bring a blanket and pinic lunch.

Kirk Dewhurst

It’s a rock ???? and it’s painted white. There is an interesting information panel explaining the history of the rock. Otherwise there is not much else here at this section of the beach. It’s easily accessible from the White Rock promenade. There are washroom facilities available nearby.

Marina B

It's worth the trip if it's just to see the iconic white rock, take a walk out on the pier, hang out on the beach, take in the beautiful scenery or walking the strip ....it's just a beautiful place to visit

Gisz L

This is a great place to go for a walk with your family, by yourself or with friends. Also, there is the beach!! A fantastic place too! The walkway is approximately 1.5 miles long. The pier is being recorded as the longest in Canada. There is plenty of green areas to rest en enjoy your time. Also, recently added more picnic tables, some of them near the train station, the others set along the way. There is plenty of parking. (Pay parking). Wheelchair accessible. And wheelchairs parking available. Public washrooms available. While walking - during the weekend - you will find a few food vendors; hot dogs, Mexican Tacos, ice cream, and mini donuts. Yes mini donuts!! Also. You can enjoy many restaurants throughout Marine Drive. Cousin from India, Vietnam, Korea, Canadian of course. Japan. Yes: fish and chips. Different stores: clothing, souvenirs, and many coffee shops. The local bus stops right by the old train station - now a Museum. Safety information: the walkway in White Rock is parallel to the Rail Road train tracks, so be sure to look both ways and to keep a considerable distance from the train stop barriers located throughout the walkway. Certainly is a wonderful place to spend the day at the beach. Have fun!!

Tanya EJ

Visited Vancouver for a very short trip and White Rock was on my short list, so glad I came! It was chilly that day but I could not resist walking the length of the pier, and along the water. Beautiful and exceptional views, a calm that surpasses understanding and great, friendly people in the neighbourhood!

Saurabh Pandey

White Rock is my favourite place to have a good walk after some awesome food from various restaurants right opposite the beach. This place is full of life and the long pier is so amazing. Great place to spend time with family and friends.

Nelfran Alvarado

I always enjoy walk along the pier with my family.

Aspat Singh

White Rock, it's a very beautiful place and environment is also nice, I visit a lot of time at The Longest Pier, it is situated near the sea and from there we can see a very great view. There is a old railway track which is still in work, train cross from there, moreover there are a lot of restaurant near this place. My experience is very good.

Jordy Colman

We had a fantastic time walking on the beach. Beautiful town. We love it here!

Deena Bronemann

This is an amazing walk. I wish they had a placard with the legend of the White Rock near it.

Henly Park

Gorgeous place to go for a walk. Definitely worth it.

Jasmine Zhou

Tortellini G

Beautiful sunsets. Lovely walks along the beach and streets. Love it!!!

James Adamson

Information signs are great, and crabbers are friendly. If you have a chance, take the walk!

Valerie Madill

We love to be able to get down to the west beach and walk along the shore to east beach and further! My ph died unfortunately so I cant share any of the amazing music that was being played by an awesome guitar player! We had so much fun! If weather is nice again today we will do again tonight but with a full battery!

Sarbjeet Bhullar

It is great place to visit. Night view is realy great

Jack Peters

A winter storm took out the middle section of the White Rock pier and caused the closure of the beach and most of the promenade. No access to the White Rock and on our last walk near by, people crossed the barriers and the police were called.

Harpreet Sidhu

It was an awesome experience. Especially when you go outside at night it's a great place to visit for fishing or crabbing. Also for the couples its nice. The bridge, when you go on to after the railway line is the best thing. You can also put your names on the wood for some fees. There were also many names been carved on the wood. Would surely recommend to visit.

Melissa Meng

A peaceful and quiet small city facing the ocean. I love to live here, no matter in the morning or at night when you walk along the trial to the ocean, you will feel so peaceful and pretty which make you calm down and relax. Each time you come here you will feel different peaceful.

Susanna Murray

Nice walk along the shore line. Dogs allowed on leash from November to March.

rodney vanH

Went here for crabbing, Dungeness crabs in this area, didn't catch any big enough males to keep and parking meter was slow/ didn't work for credit card - bring change for parking but was still a nice area and fun experience

Ryan Deenah

Me personally it's my favorite beach in the GVA. I feel like I'm in the Caribbean sea.????????????????????

Yakuza Blade

Nerina Field

Lovely day for a walk in White Rock

Michelle Owen

Longest pier in Canada has done off the best views in Vancouver

Kyle Pendree

Amazing views and beautiful sunsets, great patios to sit on for dinner. One of my favorite places to visit whether it's date night or to bring the kids!

Jelena

White rock is beautiful tourist town with longest pier in Canada. Restaurants and suvenir shops make this place more desirable to visit again. Can't wait to visit again in spring.

Raghu Bans

Out of control pricing, any thing you want to buy you pay way too much for it. The biggest gouges are the parking meters. If you go to White Rock you better be prepared to pay arm and leg.

Ally Robertson

Love visiting the beach here. My granddaughter was thrilled. We had a lovely time even though it was raining, we just dressed for the weather and arrived at low tide

Corey Allan

Gorgeous area, my wife is almost sold on moving to the lower Mainland just from visiting White Rock.

Goldy Dhaliwal

Beautiful ocean view, great location to walk ????‍♂️ any time of day even till late night. There are lots of restaurants on ocean views. You will find all kinds of food. English, Chinese, Indian etc.

Gasha Gill

A beautiful place to visit and enjoy. Thank you all the great people who care for developing a great community and building the peer . Thankful gasha

Iris Orellana

Ashok Kalia

A breathtaking experience like never before. Inspite of the rain the place was great and worth a re- visit.

Jake Trottier

Always a fantastic place to unwind. The fresh air and beautiful view make for an awesome day at the beach or walk.

Beverley

Great place to go for a walk. Great views, flat, level, paved path, lots of (paid) parking (free in the mornings before 10am)

Gina Grape

Every time I go to this place, it gives me that warm and nostalgic feeling. I will never get tired of coming to this iconic place.

Bren James

All the benches are in the open sun. Otherwise great time

Dan Lang

Good place to visit people are keeping their social distance from each other which is good

Carol Price

Beautiful place for a distanced walk on the beach at this time of year.

Simon Little

Great beach...clear water and lots of space !!!loved walking on the pier

Laverne Bauch

Fantastic lovely morning walk!! ???? you can't smell the smoke over the ocean....nothing but salty air! Morning folks walking & families having fun ???? there's alot of good energy here. Free parking until 10am

Kenny T

It's always a nice time walking down the boardwalk here. Parking can be tricky but I managed to get a 48 foot motorhome parked in the street. Paid for 3 parking spots and everything went OK. I have to say I allways like being here. With the new water break let's hope it can take a beating and stay around for future generations.

Michelle Stevens

We love this beach. It can get busy and you have to check the tides, but it was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Rizvan Stenlund

Touristy very nice well worth the trip

Kathi Atkinson

Beautiful! The lights on thr pier were fabulous, the lights were in rows in arches along the pier... On the bottom side while you walked...they changed colour.. On the top side, they stayed red and white... Only problem...for me...was that it was a wee bit cold... Would love to go again when it is warmer... Lovely at night... Pretty dark at night, but nice to see all the lights...

Shane Colebourne

Plenty of parking and beautiful walks on the beach.

Sahar Bahrami

Lovely sand beach and great views! You can enjoy an ice cream while walking down the beach and watching the sunset. It’s usually windy though.

T J

A bit of California just outside Vancouver. You can see the USA just across the water, if you haven't already been.

claude goudreault

Nice place for family fun day, romantic sunset walk and dinner or an alone time working on laptop in one of the coffee shop across the street from the beach.

Lilly Ann Docallas Aglubat

A great place ~to watch the sunset ~for a leisurely walk with your dog ~for a "me time" or to enjoy the day with family/friends Could get really crowded during weekends when the weather is nice and parking can be challenging, too. Parking was free when we went there and we were lucky to find a spot. Don't forget to enjoy a gelato (despite the cold) or a cup of coffee before concluding your visit to White Rock.
