White Rock Pier, Waterfront passageway and bicycle bridge in White Rock, Canada.
Description
White Rock Pier is a wooden structure extending about 470 meters into Semiahmoo Bay with a breakwater at its southern end and views of coastal mountains. The pier also functions as a customs port of entry for small watercraft.
History
The pier was built in 1914 as a steamship dock for the Great Northern Railway and served as an important transport hub. Following a severe storm in December 2018, the structure underwent major reconstruction.
Culture
The pier serves as a gathering point where visitors watch local fishermen at work and join in seasonal events throughout the year. The community gathers here regularly to connect and share experiences.
Practical
The pier welcomes pedestrians and cyclists, but vehicles and dogs are not permitted on the walkway. Visitors should note that this is an active customs port, so some areas may have restrictions at times.
Did you know?
The pier is sometimes claimed to be one of Canada's longest, but this claim is disputed by other structures such as the Quai de Portneuf in Quebec. The exact ranking remains debated among those familiar with such records.
