About Crescent Beach

Crescent Beach is a small waterfront village on the Semiahmoo Peninsula with a character you won't find anywhere else in Surrey. About 1,200 residents live in a mix of heritage cottages and contemporary waterfront estates, connected by a walkable strip of bistros, ice cream shops, and the iconic Wickson Pier at Blackie Spit. The community dates back to 1912 when the Great Northern Railway turned it into a resort destination.

Blackie Spit Park is the anchor — 5 km of nature trails, a boardwalk over Mud Bay, Surrey's only off-leash dog swim area, and a Pacific Flyway bird sanctuary attracting 300+ species and 10,000+ migratory waterfowl annually. Crescent Park Elementary feeds into Elgin Park Secondary, known for Advanced Placement programs. Highway 99 puts Vancouver about 45 minutes away. This is a lifestyle neighbourhood for buyers who want ocean access, nature, and village charm over urban convenience.
