Stevenson Village - Few other places offer such a clear glimpse into Pacific Canada’s history as Stevenson's beautifully-preserved National Historic Sites.
The Gulf of Georgia Cannery National Historic Site was once the epicenter of Western Canada’s fishing industry, which sparked the city’s growth and economically supported the region in its early days. Today, it’s a popular interactive museum presenting the history of the fishing and canning industry on the West Coast through fascinating guided tours and interactive exhibits. Nearby, the Britannia Shipyards National Historic Site invites visitors to experience how fishermen used to live through boom and bust. It’s also where many of the region’s wooden fishing boats were once hand-made. Tours are offered here, giving you the chance to really immerse yourself in maritime history. |
For a modern-day example of the industry, head to Fisherman’s Wharf and see the daily catch, sustainably caught straight from the Pacific Ocean. You can even buy some of it directly from the very ships and people who caught it!
Aside from the National Historic Sites, there are plenty of other representations of how things used to be in Steveston. You’ll find opportunities to get up-close and personal with historic town life at the Steveston Museum, the Steveston Tram, and at London Heritage Farm.

White Rock Beach - White Rock beach is the home to numerous restaurants, shops and seasonal events lining the ocean. A rise in the shoreline known as “The Hump”, divides this strip of sand into East and West Beach.
East Beach - Often known as the quieter and more serene side, East Beach offers options for all tastes. This side of the beach is home to two totem poles, signifying the city’s long-standing relationship with the Semiahmoo First Nation. The totem poles are situated on the top of a lookout point framing a peaceful view. If you’re looking for something to get your heart pumping, there are several water activities to consider. Kiteboarding, skimboarding and kayak rentals are offered by Feral Boardsports. |
However, East Beach does host occasional events both large and small. The most notable of these events include White Rock’s annual TD Concerts by the Pier. This line up of summer performances showcases phenomenal Canadian musical talent. With the Main Stage being located on East Beach, you can spend the day relaxing on the sand and close off your beach trip with a captivating concert.
West Beach - On the other hand, West Beach is an alternative to the calm aura of its neighbouring beach. Live performances, craft markets and fairs are a staple in this bustling area. In addition, West beach is the home to White Rock’s iconic pier. Extending 470 m into the ocean, this wooden structure provides a view like no other. Dating back to 1914, the pier is one of the most photographed landmarks in the area.
The 2-kilometer long promenade ties East and West beach together, encouraging us to take in the whole beach. Offering you spectacular views of the ocean and direct access to White Rock’s best restaurants, the promenade is a great way to familiarize yourself with the entire beach. The City of White Rock has recently begun renovations to transform their iconic path. Check out our Waterfront Memorial Park story to learn about the newest addition to the walkway. White Rock beach has something for everyone to enjoy, from strolls along the waterfront to visits to White Rock’s top fish and chip or ice cream spots.

Horseshoe Bay - is a small community at the western end of the North Shore and home of the BC Ferries terminal. This community is perfectly suited to pedestrian traffic. Park your car and walk the few blocks that constitute the main street, choosing a restaurant that suits your taste. Many come to Horseshoe Bay just for the view.
This is the North Shore’s gateway to Howe Sound. It’s here that you can board a ferry if you wish and go as a foot passenger to Bowen Island. The trip each way is short but sweet, and you can disembark and go exploring, or take the next ferry back. |
Families with kids will enjoy the seaside playground, and everyone will enjoy the seaside deck chairs where you can take in the spectacular views. A popular tradition is getting fish and chips or a burger from one of the take-out restaurants and eating it in the park overlooking the water. Another is buying an ice-cream cone and wandering along the pier.
Throughout the village you will find many charming shops and eateries. A unique gem is the Butter Lane Bake Shop and Tea House, which serves delicious fresh baked treats, and high tea by reservation. Seating times are noon, 2:15pm and 4:30pm.
Just west of Horseshoe Bay is Whytecliff Park, a natural marine sanctuary and popular scuba-diving spot where seals and other sealife can be seen. There is a swimming beach, which is great fun for kids when the ferry waves come ashore. You’ll also find a playground, picnic spots, and tennis courts in the 15+ hectare park. Pack a picnic lunch or get something from the concession, which is open from the May long weekend through Labour Day.
