The area
South Surrey / White Rock are charming seaside communities
located on the Semiahmoo Peninsula on the west coast of Canada
about 35 miles south of Vancouver near the U.S. border. We are
surrounded on three sides by ocean and a river and on one side
by farmland. We receive much more sunshine than Vancouver and
are renowned for our sandy beaches, the warmest sea water north
of Santa Barbara, California, our lush forest parks for hiking
and biking, a myriad of fine restaurants of every ethnic persuasion
with outdoor dining overlooking the sea and for some of the best
golf courses in Canada. There are 15 golf courses within a 15
minute drive. Some are of top international standard while others
are par 3 courses. We also have excellent stables to rent horses
to ride miles of forested trails and meadows in Campbell Valley
Park. Kayaking, sailing, wildlife viewing and fishing trips are
also available.
Our two main beaches are White Rock and Crescent Beach. Both have waterfront promenades beside the beaches. Hundreds of walkers enjoy the atmosphere and the sunset as they stroll along the walkways with friends and relatives. When one wants to enjoy the many sights of Vancouver one can easily access big city life. It is a safe, cosmopolitan and beautiful city. One can also access alpine scenery rivaling the Rocky Mountains at nearby Mount Baker National Forest. One tremendous bonus to foreign visitors is that our dollar is worth about two thirds the value the of the U.S. Dollar. Europeans and Americans can enjoy our restaurants, golf courses and other attractions at extremely attractive prices compared to home.
