WHITE ROCK BC CANADA - 4K Walk Tour : Marine Dr in late Summer 2023 - Life in Canada

White Rock is a very popular destination in the summer. It has beautiful coastline, beaches, pier and an array of trendy restaurants and cafes, mainly along Marine Drive. White Rock is about 1 hr drive from Vancouver and within minutes to US border (Peace Arch crossing). What White Rock BC is known for: The PIER, BEACHES, SEASIDE TOWN, or BOULDER? White Rock is named for a large white boulder on its beach near the promenade, a glacial erratic that migrated south during the last glaciation. The 486-ton granite boulder was kept white by shellfish-eating seabirds whose guano covered the rock, so much so that 19th-century sailors used it as a beacon. It is now kept white through monthly applications of white paint by the city parks department, and has been a graffiti target, and the White Rock Pier is located nearby. White Rock is a city in British Columbia, Canada, and a member municipality of Metro Vancouver. Filmed on Sept 09 2023 #explorevancouvercanada Living in Canada - Life in Canad
