Canada’s Longest Pier
The 470-metre-long White Rock Pier is a major attraction in White Rock, and is a destination filled with family memories, walks on the beach and fish and chips.
This unique wood construction was built in 1914 and underwent restoration in 1977. In December 2018, it was torn in half during a winter storm and was repaired in time for a summer reopening in 2019.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, visitors are encouraged to wear a mask, keep to the right side of the pier and do not gather.
Dogs are not allowed on the pier at any time. Dogs on leashes are allowed on the Promenade between Nov. 1 and March 31. Visit whiterockcity.ca/dogs for more information.
