Lunch Break Adventure: White Rock Beach

Oh, the days of beautiful summer weather and 2-hour lunches... none of which I am experiencing right now. Sigh. Oh well, at least I have these gorgeous pictures to share with you!

I work only minutes from the beach at White Rock which is a lovely place (if you don't mind driving around and around looking for parking, and then paying $3.75/hour when you find it!) Not only does it have wonderful views and adorable shops, you can see America from the boardwalk :)



A lot of other people were taking advantage of the gorgeous weather this day too.



This is White Rock's famous pier and boardwalk. Derek and I had originally thought about getting married in the summer at the end of this pier... wouldn't that be great? But time constraints made this unfeasible.



At the end of the pier is a breaker and a small marina, very picturesque!







At the end of the pier there are quite often crab traps. Here, a crabber measures his catch-- crabs have to be above a certain size and only male, or must be thrown back.



Of course, the crab had his own opinions about the situation... (here's his fighting face!)



At the entrance to the pier are railroad tracks, which made for lovely pictures with the ocean in the background...



And finally, I'll leave you with a picture of White Rock's famous white rock, and beautiful Baker in the background. BC is gorgeous, I'll give it that.



Hope you enjoy, especially on the dark, rainy, gloomy days that are fast approaching! :)
