Living in White Rock
White Rock got its name after, you guessed it – the white rock! This boulder was transported via glacier thousands of years ago and used to be a beacon for local sailors because it was easy to see. The city now regularly paints the rock white to maintain the image. It also has a great story as part of local Salish first nations folklore. See if you can learn about it the next time you visit.
This seaside city attracts many visitors throughout the year for tourism, especially during the warmer months as there are many outdoor activities to do along the shores of White Rock Beach and the White Rock pier. Explore the eight kilometer sandy beach and promenade as you take in the sunset following a busy day eating at the many restaurants, walking the popular pier, and kayaking off the shore.
There is of course, more to White Rock than just living by the sea. White Rock is also home to a bustling arts and culture scene including many local artists, musicians, and live theatre. Many of the independent restaurants are run by the locals so when you spend your time and live in the neighbourhood you are supporting local businesses and the local economy. White Rock’s population is just shy of 20,000 people making it a very quaint city to live in with the extra perk of getting both sea and mountain views with plenty of things to do.
