ALL ABOUT CRESCENT BEACH

Crescent Beach really is all about … yep you guessed it … it’s beaches. Home to about 1200 people, Crescent Beach entertains thousands year around as people gather for lazy days at the beach, family picnics in Blackie Spit Park, bird watching, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, yachting and cycling, to name just a few of the many area attractions.

Crescent Beach

Into lazy days on the beach on hot summer afternoons? Watching the kids play in the sand? Strolling along the sea eating your favourite gelato? Then Crescent Beach is what you’re looking for. Beecher, Sullivan and Target Streets provide the best access, but there are many pathways and streets that lead down to the beach. Once you’re there, enjoy the Crescent Beach Pier, swimming (lifeguards are on-duty Monday to Sunday from 11am to 7pm), beach volleyball, the off-lease dog area (see the map), washroom facilities and miles of beautiful trails for walking or cycling.

Blackie Spit Park

Into watching birds? Blackie Spit Park in Crescent Beach offers some of the best bird watching areas in Canada, with between 200 – 300 different species of birds. The tidal marsh and sandy spit is an important stop for migrating and wintering waterfowl and shorebirds, as they make their way up and down the coastline of North and South America on their annual migrations. Bring your binoculars and guide book and you might be in for a surprise. And while you’re watching… check out the soaring eagles busy high overhead.

It also has a beautiful 5 KM nature trail system (map) with stunning views of Mud Bay, so walk or bring your bike and take you’re time, there’s so much to see and enjoy. Oh, and did I mention the Harbour seals and their pups? You’ll often see those nearby too!

If you’re in to boating, Crescent Beach Marina offers access to the Gulf Islands and San Juan’s, while providing all of the comforts of home. Crescent Beach Marina is a full-service marina complete with all modern services, including moorage, storage, showers and laundry, pump out, washing, fuel and store. For those who don’t yet have a boat, they can sell you one of those too.

Crescent Park

Just a few blocks away is beautiful Crescent Park. Situated on a 128 acre site in South Surrey, Crescent Park offers beautiful walking trails (map) through open meadows, past streams and ponds and mature second growth forests. Originally a logging camp until 1947, Crescent Park is now a place of recreation in a peaceful nature setting.

“I used Joel to sell my home and it sold quickly and I was very happy with his service. He was always patient and took the time to answer all of my questions. He always kept me in the know for what was going on, and I always felt like he was looking out for my best interests. Highly recommend!” Rita Jacks – White Rock, BC

Transportation to Crescent Beach

Crescent Road is the only road into Crescent Beach, and it crosses a railway track at the entrance to the community, which has been a long time irritant of the neighbourhood. The rail traffic causes noise and air pollution, and has many residents hoping for the lines to be moved away from the beach. By car, Crescent Beach is accessible from Crescent Road and is a short drive to Highway 99 which leads to the US border and Vancouver. TransLink also provides bus service via 351 to Ocean Park, White Rock and Bridgeport Station.
