Where to stay in South Surrey
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Crescent Beach and Ocean Park sit on the water. A room near Crescent Beach puts the shoreline of the Semiahmoo peninsula within walking distance, while Morgan Creek and Grandview Heights lie back among the newer streets of the City of Surrey and suit anyone arriving by car. Sunnyside and Chantrell Creek fall between them.
Elgin is further inland. You want Crescent Beach if the peninsula shoreline is the reason for the trip.
About South Surrey
What are the main landmarks in South Surrey?
Names do the work here. Crescent Beach and Crescent Heights mark the shoreline end of the Semiahmoo peninsula, while Chantrell Creek and Morgan Creek name the ground inland from it. Grandview Heights and Hazelmere lie further back.
Ocean Park and Sunnyside complete the set, and the City of White Rock forms the boundary that South Surrey runs up against.
What is the history of South Surrey?
Boundaries tell the story. South Surrey is a community inside the City of Surrey, yet the City of White Rock, which shares its border, stands as a separate city rather than a part of the larger one around it. The older names persist regardless.
Crescent Beach, Elgin, Hazelmere, Ocean Park and Sunnyside are each still in use, and each still marks its own piece of the Semiahmoo peninsula.
Where is South Surrey?
The peninsula sets the shape. South Surrey covers the Semiahmoo peninsula inside the City of Surrey, meeting the City of White Rock along its edge.
