Crescent Beach is an out-of-the-way corner of Surrey near White Rock that has its own beach town vibe. It really feels like you’re a world away from Vancouver when you come here.
In fact, with all the homes lining the beachfront walkway, it feels like a mini-Cape Cod.
In the summer months, Crescent Beach is usually bustling and vibrant – filled with locals and tourists eating fish and chips beachside and chilling on the beaches.
When it’s fall and winter, it’s a great storm-watching spot that’s much closer to Vancouver than Tofino.
Find a spot to park your car and walk down Beecher Street to scope out where you want to grab your coffee, lunch, or dinner that day.
