East Beach, West Beach and the pier

  • The pier splits the two beaches. It is 470 metres long, first built in 1914/15, and a December 20, 2018 storm destroyed a third of it; the repaired section reopened in 2019. The federal government has approved in principle $25,935,000 toward replacing the rest.
  • The promenade runs about 2.19 km, almost the length of the beach. Biking, skating and smoking are not allowed on it, and dogs on leash are allowed only from October 1 to March 31.
  • West Beach is the busier end, with restaurants along Marine Drive near the pier. East Beach runs toward the Semiahmoo First Nation lands, which are governed separately and sit inside Surrey’s borders.

The railway in front of every Marine Drive home

A single BNSF track runs between Marine Drive and the beach. It operates 24 hours a day and carries freight and Amtrak passenger trains. People reach the beach at eight gated crossings: Bay, Anderson, Oxford and the Pier on West Beach, and Cypress, Balsam, Ash and Finlay on East Beach. Since January 29, 2020, after 16 safety gates went in, BNSF crews have been under an order not to sound horns at those crossings, except for people or animals on the tracks. Listen for trains at a showing, day and night.

Flood levels and rules

  • White Rock sets its own rules, separate from Surrey: Zoning Bylaw 2024, No. 2506 (adopted June 27, 2024) and Official Community Plan Bylaw 2017, No. 2220, which includes a Waterfront Development Permit Area.
  • A City report describes an ocean floodplain level of 3.9 m geodetic and a Campbell River floodplain level of 4.6 m, overlapping in the city’s southeast corner. Ask the City how either applies before you plan to rebuild or add on.
  • Most Marine Drive lots are on a slope, so check retaining walls, drainage and the stairs from the road as closely as the view.

What White Rock homes sell for

Between November 1, 2025 and October 31, 2026, 95 detached houses sold in White Rock at a median of $1,565,000 (middle half $1,257,500 to $2,033,095), and 251 condos at $542,000. Waterfront and view homes sell at the top of those ranges, and few come up in a year, so it pays to have a search saved before one lists.

White Rock waterfront homes: your questions answered

Will trains sound their horns outside a Marine Drive home?

Not routinely at the promenade crossings. Since January 29, 2020, BNSF crews have been under an order not to sound horns at White Rock’s eight crossings, after 16 safety gates were installed. They still sound the horn for people or animals on the tracks.

Is White Rock’s waterfront in a floodplain?

Parts of it. A City of White Rock report describes an ocean floodplain level of 3.9 m geodetic and a Campbell River floodplain level of 4.6 m in the southeast corner. Check the lot with the City before you plan to build.

Can I walk my dog on the White Rock promenade?

On a leash from October 1 to March 31 only. Dogs are never allowed on the pier.

What do houses in White Rock sell for?
