This is a fabulous little gem of history just outside Vancouver. It's free and there's good parking. You can wander round the house, barns and grounds and there are some lovely trails to walk with fabulous views of the mountains and river. It would be a great place to take a picnic in the warm months. Lots of history and not too much to read. All in all a great experience for all ages

Redwood Park is a beautiful historic park in South Surrey. It has a large forest of exotic trees planted by the Brown brothers, there's also a wonderful replica of the original tree house that the brothers lived in. I believe you can obtain the key from the City to explore inside it. Beautiful lawns and picnic areas and a great playground. For children the best part of Redwood Park is the magical Fairy Garden, here kids can leave their own decorated fairy house.

Almost every night in the summer my husband and I go to Blackie spit to ride around the beautiful natural path ways and then around the beach and then back to sit on the beach and watch a stunning sunset… It’s a best kept secret and it’s hardly ever crowded and even more so there’s a fantastic dog park and place for the dogs to play in the beach best kept secret I think…

Crescent Beach is breathtaking, we go with the family during the day and enjoy a lovely stroll and all you feel is peace, the ocean breeze in the blue and silver colour water and most of the time the sun is out even on cold days...What a treat even when I am just on my own spa time for the mind and soul. Love birds looking for a perfect location outdoors for photos before/after weddings just in White Rock, BC.

This is my favourite park, always immaculately kept and well behaved park/walkers. Always love going down to the beach and walk along for about an hour or two, sit down and just drink in nature.

The boat trip across is short but interesting. There is a ring road around the island. Go left from the boat lately because of the Covid 19. The far east end which looks toward the golden ears bridge is the nude beach as per city of Vancouver since 2009. I was there 3 times lately for about 3 hours each time and only once saw one person. There is a sandy beach and nothing else. Carry in - carry out. The views around are okay. If you are looking for a secluded place to get the all over tan this is it. Or if you are a bit shy of crows this is a good choice from my experience. :)

I cross the bridge a lot and the design and construction is first class. Removing the tolls made it fantastic. Lets not wait so long for the Patullo and the Tunnel replacement.

Once or twice a month 4 to 8 of us will meet at the casino, and play the slots. My wife and I have a limit of 20 bucks each. We socialize and mingle, but then head to the races upstairs just before post time. Again we keep our bets low, And quite often break even. We get a cheap, but tasty burger from the casino, and bring it up to the track. All total, we will spend about 5 hours there, and maybe an hour at the flea market before then during the summer. It is an excellent fun time with friends from all over the lower mainland that otherwise we do not visit with enough, but traffic is light on Sundays, and that is when we meet. It is so much better for us anyway, to be able to move around this large complex,ma's opposed to just sitting the whole time. Beautiful horses too, and worth a visit or two to the race course outside, so as to hear the thunder of the smilies coming down the stretch. One last thing of note; the staff everywhere, casino and at Silks are super friendly, and courteous.
