White
Rock, British Columbia
White
Rock, with more sunshine than any other spot in BC's Lower
Mainland, is almost picture-perfect, with a promenade that
runs for 4.5km (4 mi) on the beach-front.
The
community of White Rock is named for the very large white
rock on the beach. Legend has it, that a Sea God’s
son fell in love with a Cowichan Indian Maiden. The lovers
after being rejected by both fathers, vowed to make a new
home.
The
Sea God’s son on seeing the big white rock, picking
it up, threw it across Georgia Strait and then with his
Cowichan princess, they followed the rock to begin a new
life and a new tribe.
