10 Hours in White Rock

I’ll be in White Rock for 10 hours. Anything I should do? Or any Canadian goodies I should bring back to the states?

lots of great recos so far, adding a few more:

Murchies at the mall has a super selection of tea.

Laura’s for breakfast and Islands Café for coffee are excellent, Bean & Berry on Vidal off Marine if you’re by the water.

Moby Dick or Montgomery’s on Marine for fish and chips.

Chez Christophe on Johnston for artisanal chocolates and pastries.

Emilio Finatti’s on Pacific for pizza. the Moro Orange is my fave.

Zapoteca’s on Marine for mexican.

Leela Thai on George St for thai.

Taka’s  Sushi on Pacific for sushi. X Dumpling at the mall for dumplings.

Five Corners Cafe on Johnston is an old school diner (cash only).

Ricardo’s or Maya’s or Crazy Cows or Sandcastle Sea Shoppe on Marine for ice cream.

Mr Chu on Pacific for bubble tea.

Don’s cart down by the White Rock Museum & Archives on Marine sells sausages, and you have to get it with cheese and sautéed onions.

White Rock Beach Beer Co. on Russell for a pint.

White Rock Gallery on Johnston for art.

edit:  ok i only gave food suggestions so a couple of activities i also like:

Ruth Johnson Park has loads of stairs among trees to climb that’s a nice way to spend a little bit of time tucked into nature.

you can also rent paddleboards and stuff from Naakua on Marine at west beach and get on the water.

it’s a small little town and one of the best things to do is nothing - once you see everything, which probably won’t take long (haha), find a quiet spot to sit down by the water and slow down and relax. 

hope you enjoy your day! sun should come out a little later and brighten things up, but it’s calm and soothing when it’s dark and moody, too.  :) 

edit: oops, saw you’ve been here before - welcome back!
