The Pacific Northwest is a lush, cool environment unlike anywhere else in the United States. Hikers and bikers will find themselves quietly separated from the civilized world as they journey deeper and deeper into a misty natural cathedral of towering hemlock trees, stress evaporating away like the dew off the leaf of a Western Sword Fern. Fishermen accustomed to modest battles with largemouth bass on southern lakes will find themselves pleasantly challenged by massive Pacific flounder and tenacious King Salmon. Kayakers can take to the rivers and sea as the native Hulhwaluqs once did, carving gracefully through the water amid the quiet splendor of Washington's verdant foliage.

Skiers can tackle a number of first-rate ski and snowboard areas that often boast record snowfalls. Birch Bay also offers clamming, one of the oldest and most treasured Northwestern pastimes, which involves a stroll down the beach while digging in the sand for various types of clams. For those who enjoy a night on the town, the chic and thriving metropolis of Vancouver, Canada, is less than an hour's drive north.

Additional local amenities include State and county parks, golf, bike riding and kayaking.

Birch Bay and nearby Bellingham have an eclectic mix of restaurants that serve international cuisines, including Chinese, Thai, and Mexican, as well as seafood, pizza, and hamburgers.

Yet your dining options aren’t limited to these two cities. There are plenty of places to eat in nearby Blaine and Ferndale, or you could cruise up to Vancouver, which is less than 40 miles away.

Birch Bay is a sleepy, quietly beautiful Pacific Northwestern hamlet located on the Strait of Georgia, about five miles south of the Canadian border. Along with the neighboring town of Blaine, Birch Bay has spent the past century as a fishing town first and a tourist destination second. Recently, however, visitors have been coming to Birch Bay with increasing frequency because of the natural attractions it offers.

This area is part of Puget Sound and has the warmest Pacific waters north of California, which make its bays and inlets an ideal environment for thousands of species of plant and animal life to thrive. During the daytime, temperatures in Birch Bay range from the mid-70s in the summer to the 30s and 40s in the winter. Nighttime on Puget Sound at any time of year will range from chilly to freezing.
