Overview

Living in South Surrey

South Surrey covers the Semiahmoo Peninsula and the land north to the Nicomekl River, surrounding the City of White Rock. It is one of Surrey's most sought-after areas, with beaches, golf courses, parks and some of the city's larger homes.

Newer neighbourhoods like Grandview Heights and Morgan Creek offer planned communities with townhouses and family homes, while Crescent Beach and Ocean Park have an older, beach-community character.
