Neighbourhood guide
Living in East Beach
East Beach is the quieter, more residential stretch of White Rock's waterfront, east of the pier, and home to the large white boulder that gives the city its name. It has a calmer character than the busier West Beach.
Location & boundaries
Along the eastern section of the Marine Drive promenade by Semiahmoo Bay, east of the White Rock Pier, toward the Stayte Road city boundary with Surrey.
History
The city is named for a 486-tonne glacial erratic on this beach near the promenade, historically kept white by seabirds and now maintained with paint.
Lifestyle
A relaxed seaside stretch of beach houses and strollers on the promenade, with fewer commercial storefronts than West Beach.
Housing & property types
Older beachfront houses and cottages along with homes and low-rise buildings on the slope above the waterfront.
Parks & recreation
The promenade, sandy beach and shoreline provide walking and waterfront recreation along Semiahmoo Bay.
Schools
Served by the Surrey School District (SD36).
Getting around
TransLink buses connect the waterfront to the White Rock Centre exchange; a BNSF freight rail corridor runs along the beach.
Attractions & landmarks
The namesake white rock and the White Rock Museum and Archives, housed in the former railway station near the pier.
Who it may suit
Buyers wanting a quieter waterfront setting close to the beach and promenade.

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.
Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.

Can non-Canadians buy a home in East Beach?
Generally not right now. Since January 1, 2023, the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has barred most non-Canadians from buying residential property, with exceptions such as permanent residents and some work-permit holders. The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
