Tucked into the western tip of South Surrey and White Rock, Crescent Beach has long been a beloved coastal retreat. Decades ago, families from Vancouver built simple beach cottages here, spending their summers by the water. Many of those original cottages still stand — some lovingly restored, others transformed into modern homes — giving the village its unique blend of history and charm.
The heart of Crescent Beach is its quaint main street, lined with boutique shops, cozy restaurants, and small local businesses. At the center of the community sits Camp Alexander, a rustic gathering place with a clubhouse, cottages, and generous green space that hosts yearround activities.
Nearby, Beecher Place offers a beautifully maintained venue for weddings, celebrations, meetings, and community events, all overlooking the ocean and the scenic seawalk promenade.
At the northern tip lies Blackie Spit, a natural sanctuary perfect for picnics, bird watching, and peaceful nature walks. It’s also a great spot to glimpse the occasional seal pup near the mouth of the Nicomekl River. A fenced offleash area — complete with a dogfriendly swim beach — makes it a favourite for fourlegged visitors too.
Crescent Beach is home to a vibrant Swim Club, an active Sailing Club, and the communityrun Dunsmuir Gardens. The wellknown Marina offers moorage, memberships, and a convenient boat launch for those who love life on the water.
Living here means embracing a lifestyle where cycling, walking, kayaking, beach days, and even parasailing are all just steps from your front door. The mix of nature, shoreline, local shops, and the everpresent sound of the train creates a village atmosphere that residents cherish.
