Neighbourhood Profile
White Rock is a city in British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver. It borders Semiahmoo Bay to the south and is surrounded on three sides by South Surrey. To the southeast across a footbridge lies the Semiahmoo First Nation, which is within the borders of Surrey. The current population is approximately 20,000.
The area has a moderate climate, with average daily high temperatures of 23 degrees Celsius in summer and 6 degrees Celsius in winter.
White Rock is named for a distinctive large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. However, it is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department and has been a popular graffiti target for over thirty years.
The beach, pier, and promenade are popular destinations but do not allow dogs, bicycles or skateboards. A trial run of allowing dogs on the promenade will begin in late 2019. These areas are very busy during the warmer summer months, especially when it comes to line-ups for gelato or fish and chips. Source: Wikipedia
