West White Rock is one of the most soughtafter residential enclaves in the region, known for its spacious family homes — many beautifully renovated or newly built. The classic beach cottages that once dotted the area have mostly given way to modern residences, reflecting the neighbourhood’s evolution into a refined coastal community.
Bordered by North Bluff Road, West White Rock stretches east from Bergstrom Street along Marine Drive, past the iconic pier and the hump, and onward toward East Beach. The area blends natural beauty with recreation, highlighted by Centennial Park — home to the ice arena, curling rink, lacrosse box, tennis courts, and a scenic ravine trail that connects several road ends down to the oceanfront.
Public beach access is also available just west of Nichol Road, where a nature trail winds through the ravine to Marine Drive’s shoreline. As you travel west along Marine Drive, you’ll find impressive estate homes with sweeping ocean views, some featuring private pathways and staircases leading directly to the waterfront.
At the base of Marine Drive, parkland offers picnic tables and barbeque areas. When the tide recedes, miles of sandy beach open up for walking, exploring, and enjoying the ocean air. Looking up toward the hills, you’ll see an array of threelevel luxury homes — many newly built — all designed to capture the panoramic coastal vistas. Several vieworiented condominium developments also line the hillside, with more underway.
The oceanfront promenade stretches from West Beach to East Beach, with residents strolling the seawall and the pier from dawn to dusk. White Rock’s pier — the longest in Canada — anchors a lively waterfront reminiscent of Coastal California, complete with openair restaurants, beach shops, and the historic museum housed in the former train station. Freight and passenger trains still pass through daily, adding to the area’s charm.
Families benefit from excellent local schools, including Ray Shepherd, Bayridge, and H.T. Thrift Elementary, along with Elgin Park and Semiahmoo Secondary.
We invite you to discover the beauty, lifestyle, and coastal character of West White Rock.
