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 / Blackie Spit

More info

The date

Crescent Beach feels like Surrey wandered off to become a seaside town and forgot to come back. The shoreline faces dead west across Boundary Bay, so the sunsets actually deliver where travel writing usually lies. Settle into the logs around Sullivan Point and let the sky do something ridiculous while your fish and chips go cold. Bring a layer, because the bay breeze is not optional, it is structural.

How to do it

Grab fish and chips in the village, then settle into the logs around Sullivan Point, which faces dead west, and let the Boundary Bay sky do something ridiculous. For a quieter stretch, walk north along the flat greenway toward Blackie Spit. Budget around 90 minutes and bring a layer, because the bay breeze is real once the sun drops.

What to wear: casual is fine
