Driftwood Sunset at Crescent Beach

Surrey wandered off and became a seaside village, and Boundary Bay sunsets at Sullivan Point are the local proof.

Crescent Beach feels like Surrey wandered off to become a seaside town and forgot to come back, which is the best thing that ever happened to it. The shoreline faces dead west across Boundary Bay, which means the sunsets actually deliver in the way that travel writing usually lies about. Settle into the logs and boulders around Sullivan Point and let the sky do something ridiculous while your fish and chips go cold. For a quieter stretch, follow the flat 2.7 km greenway north toward Blackie Spit and the Wickson Pier boardwalk, a sandbar jutting into Mud Bay with the North Shore mountains behind it and more migrating birds than you can name. Bring a layer. The bay breeze is not optional, it is structural, and dressing for it is the one decision you actually need to make.
