Birch Bay is a great place to spend your vacation. Spend a perfect relaxing week in our well equipped cabin, right next to the state park and by the beach. Enjoy walking along the beach, cycling around the bay, or canoeing along the creek and out into the bay. Watch exquisite sunsets on the water and see bald eagles soar.

Birch Bay is the fastest growing area in Whatcom County, with a large tide flat of sand several square miles in size that bares itself at low tide, and as the water creeps back in over the hot sand it warms to bath water temperatures in the summer. It is the perfect place for a summer vacation, featuring pet friendly rentals. It has a large heron nesting areas, a large state park at the south end and outstanding birding throughout the year. Especially for seabirds and shorebirds (depending upon where they rest at night), it’s classed by the Audubon Society as one of 50 Important Birding Areas (IBA's) in Washington State, along with nearby Blaine’s Drayton Harbor.
Birch Bay has a rich history that goes back thousands of years, and in fact Captain George Vancouver landed in the Discovery in his Expedition in 1792 on Cottonwood Beach with his Muster that included Peter Puget (Sound), Joseph Whidbey ( Island) & Joseph Baker (Mt). Factual legend has it that Captain Vancouver stopped in Birch Bay during 1792 Expedition and the Admiralty used the Black Birch Trees and to brew beer, a common staple on the long voyage- they named Birch Bay after the same tree.
