How to Squeeze the Most Out of the Rest of Summer in South Surrey & White Rock

Summer may be winding down, but there’s still plenty of sunshine, long evenings, and ocean breeze left to enjoy in South Surrey and White Rock. Before the days get shorter and the cozy sweaters come out, here are some of the best ways to make the most of the time we have left.

1. Catch a Late-Summer Sunset at the Beach

White Rock Beach and Crescent Beach are magical in late summer. The crowds thin out, the water is still warm enough for a dip, and the sunsets? Absolute showstoppers.

  • Pro tip: Head down an hour before sunset, grab a coffee or ice cream, and claim your spot on the pier for panoramic views.

2. Patio-Hop with an Ocean View

Few things say “summer” like dining al fresco, and White Rock has no shortage of patios with unbeatable views.

  • Try: Moby Dick for classic fish & chips, Zapoteca for Mexican with a twist, or The Boathouse for seafood and sunset cocktails.

  • Pro tip: Go mid-week to avoid the weekend rush.

3. Check Out End-of-Summer Events & Markets

The South Surrey Farmers’ Market and White Rock’s Uptown Night Market are still going strong. You’ll also find live music at Memorial Park, outdoor yoga sessions, and the occasional outdoor movie night.

  • Where to look: City of White Rock events calendar and Discover Surrey’s listings.

4. Get Active on the Water (While It’s Still Warm)

Paddleboarding, kayaking, and skimboarding are perfect for these last sunny weeks. Crescent Beach and Semiahmoo Bay offer calm waters, and you can rent gear locally if you don’t have your own.

  • Pro tip: Early mornings are peaceful and often wind-free — perfect for paddling.

5. Indulge in Summer-Only Treats

From pier-side ice cream at Crazy Cows to fresh oysters at Five Corners, now is the time to enjoy the seasonal bites that just hit differently in the summer sun.
