The ultimate Pacific Northwest experience. Birch Bay is a sleepy, quietly beautiful hamlet located on the Strait of Georgia, about five miles south of the Canadian border. Part of the Puget Sound this area has the warmest Pacific waters north of California, making it an ideal environment for plant life and animals alike. Snowcapped mountains, lush forests, blue lakes and the vast bay provide picturesque landscapes. Blaine, Vancouver, the San Juan Islands and Bellingham are all nearby.
