White Rock

Beautiful, Beachfront Living

Home to approximately 20,000 residents, White Rock features an oceanfront promenade, boutique shopping, specialty bars and restaurants, and a thriving arts scene. White Rock was aptly named after a local landmark: a large white rock perched on the beach, thought to be an ancient glacial deposit from millenia past.

White Rock’s vibrant culture and natural beauty attract new residents every year, resulting in it becoming one of the fastest growing and evolving communities in the Lower Mainland.
