Weather in White Rock

White Rock is known for its temperate year-round climate that sees more sun and less rainy days than nearby Vancouver due to the fact it is further away from the Coast Mountains. In fact, White Rock receives 20% more sunshine than Vancouver, and is often referenced as the Donut-in-the-Sky due to the microclimate in the area. Summer daytime temperatures average 23 celcius and 6 celcius in the winter. What’s not to love about that!

Transportation in White Rock

Downtown White Rock is a very pedestrian friendly community, with many grocery stores, doctor’s offices, entertainment, restaurants, and even the ocean within blocks of each other. Many people walk to work, schools and to their daily activities, as is evident by the bustling sidewalks along 152nd Avenue.

But as with most cities, much of the transportation revolves around vehicles, especially for those commuting to Vancouver for work. Fortunately Highway 99 is a freeway that links White Rock with Vancouver and is a convenient 35 minute drive to the airport and Vancouver city.

White Rock has a bus system that runs through downtown and links up to the Bridgeport Station in Richmond, Surrey Central and the King George Skytrain stations, as well as various parts of South Surrey and Langley.

“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
