White Rock Beach: White Rock, BC

Skim Spot Description: White Rock consists of an eight kilometer sandy beach and the warm shallow waters of Semiahmoo Bay which is flanked on the south by the Canada/US border and Blaine, Washington. White Rock Beach is famous for its 1,500 ft. long pier, its 2.5km long beach promenade and of course the large white rock which weighs in at 486 tons and is a glacial deposit from the coastal range. Along the beach there is a long stretch of great Restaurants, Ice Cream shops, and Clothing stores. As far as where to park, there are timed meters along the street, or the gravel parking lot on the Indian Reserve by the Semiahmoo park is $6 all day. Best spot to skim is just across the railroad and right in front of the Parking Lot/Park.There's lots of variety from hundreds of tide pools, to skinny streams, to hitting some small waves at the waters edge. Features include the famous tire, many PBC rails/boxes/jumps witch people leave in the bushes, and pretty much anything else you can find. The sand is fine, and is softly compacted so it is decently forgiving. There's a vast amount of area to skim, so being crowded is never a problem. In the summer months its usually around mid 20's degrees, and White Rock gets more sun than all the surrounding cities. When the tide comes in head over to the pier for some pier jumping.  All around its a great spot, and I have been riding it my entire life.  (Submitted by Jordan Klimek)
