Crescent Beach. / by Tom Giles

Crescent Beach, a sleepy beach town in Surrey, BC πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ was originally selected for our adventure simply because of its location between Fall City, WA and Pemberton (our next destination).

Having never driven across the USA β€” Canadian border before, we were unsure what to expect. Located only ten to fifteen minutes past, Crescent Beach was, simply, a convenient option.

Or so we thought…

What we didn’t anticipate was just how lovely it would be πŸ₯°

Crescent Beach may go down as the sleeper surprise of this entire adventure! And not just because the Bungalow we stayed at was absolutely incredible.

Living directed across the street from three insanely good food spots is also just really hard to beat!

  1. Dude’s Coffee may be my favorite coffee shop ever!! No joke. It also serves amazing food. Dim Sum Saturday?! Yes please πŸ˜‹

  2. Fieldstone Bread is one of the best bakeries I’ve ever enjoyed. It quickly reminded me just how good bread can be πŸ₯–

  3. Beast and Brine is an absolutely charming deli. In addition to its fantastic, locally sourced meats and meals, their freshly made pot pies should legit win awards πŸ₯§

The best part? All that was just a minute walk from our bungalow πŸ˜› It was supremely hard to leave.

Walking a bit further down the road, we were also able to enjoy quiet, calming strolls on the beach, gnosh on fantastic, locally caught fish & chips, and cool down with delicious gelato.

The only downsides we could find with Crescent Beach were its density and how Crescent Road is the only way in and out of the area. Neither of which, however, would stop us from enjoying the area full-time!
