Went swimming here the other day and I can tell you that I will never be coming back here again. My sister, mother and I were all looking for a nice place to swim during the heat wave and after reading a review saying that this beach has the “clearest water”, we decided to come here. That person must have been talking about a different beach because the water at Crescent Beach was disgusting; not only was there seaweed all over the place and some weird red weeds at the bottom of the water that kept wrapping around our feet, but the water itself is not as clear as it might look in the pictures. It has a mucky green/brown tint to it and I was honestly surprised at how many people were swimming in it. It was also super crowded on the day that we went but even if it was completely empty, I don’t believe it would have made the experience any better. Super disappointed at how filthy the water at this beach was and not to mention, the air around the air smells like fish. None of us dared to put our heads in the water (or even ears) and the whole experience was just very unpleasant. I really don’t understand how his beach has such positive reviews. Also, this beach has a warning sign for swimmer’s itch, so be aware of that too if you plan on swimming there (which I don’t recommend). I really wish we had just picked a different beach rather than drive all the way here. The only positive about going to this beach was the view; I think if one were to come here at sunset, it might look quite nice. When I came home, we took a shower right away as we had sand from the water in our bathing suits.

Whether you are walking with your Honey, the Family or the dog Crescent Beach is a great place to go. Lovely broad paths along the beach. Lots of places to just sit and enjoy the ocean and it environments. There are a number of decent restaurants at the foot of Teacher Street. Blackie Spit park, yacht Club and off leash dog park. There are picnic and BBQ areas.
Crescent Beach is a great place to go for a drive or a day trip any time of the year.

The wonderful thing about this beach is the length of shallow beach area. If you are picnicking or just want the kids to play and have a clear sight line the shallow waters are perfect when the tide is low (be sure to check tide times).
In the summer, there are usually life guards on duty at Sullivan Point. There is over a 2klm trail (in total both directions).
Tons of restaurants along the beach strip that offer every kind of food fair.
A great place in the summer to beat the heat and enjoy nature.

I guess it depends on when you come here but usually on week days it is nice and quite place to visit. Not too crowded there are some places to grab a quick bite and a ice cream place that has been there for a very long time. I always take my kids there.

Drove from another city to enjoy Crescent Beach sun set and walk the beach area. Found it very difficult to find a near park area for our small car. Waited and got one, but never know if going to be towed. Walked the beach path, but as Seniors wanted a few more benches to rest and have a view. First bench had rotten seating plank. Next very high off the ground and very old. Not very many! Grass is high growing along the paths, just wild. You have to climb up slightly to reach the high path to view the ocean. Grass should be lower and well marked paths. We did find the sun set beautiful, and Italian rest. was very good. Not many on the shore at our location.

Some of the most relaxing times have been spent in White Rock. I've been going there for years from when my kids were small to now with my grandkids. Great family location, date nights with that special someone or just to getaway by yourself.

A great place to visit for a walk and a bite to eat. Finding parking can be a bit of a problem. We were there on New Year's day and it was packed. We found it easier to park by the cafes rather than the main car park by the grassed area/public toilets. Gorgeous views and lovely clean beach. Well worth a visit

Too many immigrant family picnics now. They think it's their own backyard. It isn't the crescent beach we knew when we were kids. No bylaw enforcement officers ever. Going downhill fast.

Nice but quiet unofficial nude beach.
Rocks and logs to sit behind mostly single male exhibitionsts as many locals and lost families walk there
Not very private bluffs above give local teens a vantage point and railway tracks above beach are busy with teenage vouyers
Very few nudist ladies but lots of chatty Asian ladies and family's
A man who didn't know it was a nudist beach stared and yelled at me because he had kids with him and they nearly tripped over me
I thought he was going to be a problem but when I asked if I was wearing something of his he dragged his giggling preteen girls away.
Too much stress

I love to walk the beach. On one side you have the ocean views, seeing Tsawwassen and some islands and even downtown Vancouver. On the other side you see some of the old cottages plus some new homes that have replaced the cottages from long ago. There's lots of history !

Can you get married on the beach and is there anywhere close by or on the beach to have a reception?
Written March 23, 2017
There is a community hall on the beach. Functions are frequently held there including weddings.

It's dog friendly there and plenty of space, not a lot of shade though.
