Crescent Beach & Ocean Park
Tucked away in the southern reaches in the City of Surrey, idyllic South Surrey is home to some of the most unique communities and neighbourhoods in all the Lower Mainland. Crescent Beach is a unique beachfront village community, where the Surrey Now newspaper calls it “Surrey’s ‘hang-ten‘ seaside escape”.
Neighbouring Ocean Park is described by the Surrey Now newspaper as “…like stepping into Mayberry” with its distinct small-town feel. Today Ocean Park continues to grow with its small town charm and friendliness for locals and visitors alike.

Coveted Crescent Beach in South Surrey is located on the Semiahmoo Peninsula in the southwest corner of the city, with Semiamhoo, Boundary and Mud Bays on three sides and a beach side bluff to the south. Just south of Crescent Beach is Ocean Park, surrounded by the waters of Boundary and Semiahmoo bays.
