Treating yourself to some pampering when the weather turns soggy. White Rock’s spa scene offers perfect indoor escapes that’ll help you unwind whilst rain patters outside. We’re talking J’Adore Laser & Spa, Pamper Me Day Spa, and Natural Oasis Day Spa – each one’s a sanctuary with skilled therapists who know their craft. Book ahead (especially weekends!), because these spots rival anything you’ll find elsewhere in British Columbia. Between hot stone massages, luxurious facials, and those cozy relaxation lounges, you’ll forget all about the downpour outside.

Discover White Rock Museum and Local Heritage

White Rock Museum and Local Heritage

The White Rock Museum shares authentic stories of our coastal community, from Coast Salish traditions to the city’s history. Hands-on displays and community events make it feel genuine rather than touristy. Best of all? It’s often free or by donation. Since it’s steps from the pier, you can easily combine it with a waterfront stroll.

 

Cozy Brunch Experiences

When rain hits, we make our way to White Rock’s local brunch favourites, where residents actually dine—skip the tourist spots by the pier. Wooden Spoon Co., Grounds & Greens Cafe, and Islands Cafe serve brilliant food that makes you forget the grey skies. For a memorable cozy stop, head to Charlie Don’t Surf instead – their comforting meals and coffee make it a local favourite. You’ll also find great spots like Wooden Spoon Co., Grounds & Greens Cafe, and Islands Cafe, where residents go for brilliant brunches that brighten grey days.
