1. The Beach
The beach is beautiful with sandy beaches and some beautiful tide pools when the tide is out. Great for wading through and exploring with the kids and great for building sandcastles. If you like to go walking, the Promenade is just over 2 kilometers long and goes from East Beach to West Beach when you reach halfway, you can head down the White Rock Pier. The White Rock Pier is beautiful and a wonderful place to watch the sunset. White Rock Beach is also great for water sports if you like boating, paddleboarding, skimboarding, swimming, and you may like kite surfing, but if you don't, it's super fun to watch.
#2 Ocean View properties.
White Rock is on a Hill which means that there is lots of space for homes to have an ocean view.
Detached homes could be up to 3 levels with an ocean view on each floor depending on where it’s located on the hillside. You can also get great ocean views from condos and depending on what kind of lifestyle you want, there are lots of options. Now, with the White Rock being on a hill, it does mean that if you walk down to the beach, which a lot of people do, it means you're coming back uphill. It's great exercise, but it's not for everybody.
#3 The Weather

#5 Close to the U.S. Border Living in White Rock means you're closer to the US border. The proximity can be great if you want to pop over and do some shopping or fill up with gas. A lot of residents in the White Rock area couldn’t do this during the pandemic as the border was closed to residents but has since reopened. A good thing to have if you would like to go cross-border shopping is a Nexus card, which you can apply for and it makes it a lot easier to get back and forth across the border.
Also, White Rock residents sometimes have another property down in Washington State. Being close to the border makes it super easy to get down and enjoy a vacation home and it’s just minutes away.
