Left your Valentine’s Day planning to the last second? Worried that the most romantic day of the year will be ruined because you didn’t make reservations three months ago? Forgot to order your flowers and chocolates ahead of time?
Don’t worry- White Rock has you covered with a variety of romantic date options that don’t require advance planning. Plus, these dates are super affordable- proving that romance doesn’t require a big budget!
Café Date
White Rock’s café culture is beloved for a reason- we have a plethora of amazing cafes to enjoy a cozy date.
Plus- there are a TON of special drink offerings in February! Grounds & Greens is offering an amazing Boss Babe Latte- made with beet powder, cinnamon, and ginger with an oat milk base and sweetened with agave syrup- for the entire month of February.
The Hot Chocolate Festival closes out this Saturday, which means you can enjoy one last cup of bliss at Caffe Artigiano and Chez Christophe before the festival is over. Our very own Emma has a reel that shows you the amazing special beverages the cafes have on offer.
Hike Through White Rock’s Trails
While we’re known for our epic waterfront, White Rock also has a ton of amazing trails! Explore White Rock’s Emma shows you some of the amazing trails in Johnson Park. These trails are perfect for a leisurely walk with the person you love.
If you’re looking for a bit more of a workout, check out White Rock’s Hillside Walkways– which offer stunning views of the water to go along with their great Grouse Grind-esque workout.
Thrifting
Nothing is more fun than browsing through a shop with the person you love- especially when you combine it with a trip down memory lane!
White Rock has several amazing thrift stores, including World Serve Thrift Store, the Living Room Store, The Wilder Thrift Store, and Superfluidity. Browse the aisles with your partner to relive your youth, or set a small budget ($10 each, for example) and see who can buy the best finds.
Romantic Walk on the Waterfront
Taking a long, romantic walk on the beach is a classic activity- both for Valentine’s Day and for Our City by the Sea. The sound of the ocean rolling in, the tang of brine on the salt air, and the endless sunsets are perfect for a romantic walk with the person you love. The only thing more epic than our sunsets is your love story!
Whatever your interests and no matter your budget, White Rock can help you plan the perfect last-minute Valentine’s Day date!
