White Rock is one of BC’s greatest gems and has so much to offer all seasons of the year—especially during the Summer.
Most Metro Vancouverites have fond memories of spending their warm summer days walking along the beach and checking out the views from the Pier with an ice cream cone in hand.
Why stop now—it’s tradition! Before Summer ends—you must stop by for a fun day under the sun.
5 Things To Do In White Rock
The beloved pier has re-opened
Locals were heartbroken when an intense windstorm sent boats crashing through the White Rock Pier—causing it to break in half. It’s easily one of White Rock’s most beloved landmarks and after eight months and millions of dollars later—it has finally re-opened to the public. Much to everyone’s delight—it opened a few days earlier than expected—so we can enjoy our last bit of Summer there. Spend a day celebrating the pier and the community as a whole.
Eat some grub on one of the most popular patios
Charlie Don’t Surf is one of the most popular patios in White Rock and it’s easy to see why. Dig into fresh local seafood right on White Rock Beach while taking in serene views wherever you look. The eatery and bar has been around since 1985 and we can’t really imagine White Rock without it. Try the tacos, fisherman’s hot pot, day boat seafood grill, or bubba shrimp pizza. No matter what dish you try—you won’t be disappointed.

Grab a pint at one of their best breweries
Stop by 3 Dogs Brewing (try the Double Dog Dare) or the White Rock Beach Beer Company (try the White Rock West Beach Fruit). Both venues have tons of delicious drinks to sip on; offering up some of the region’s best craft beer on tap. After all; Summer is best spent enjoying the great outdoors and kicking back with a beer.
