Birch Bay

Birch Bay, located on a shallow, crescent-shaped bay, is a beach-side community offering a range of year-round recreation for families and anyone looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of big towns. 

While visiting, you can enjoy golf courses, beach combing, restaurants, and a brewery with water views. In the summer, gather the family and race around a go-cart track at Station 49 and then enjoy locally made treats at The C Shop. Seasonal fun, like picking berries, sunflowers, and pumpkins, can also be found at Home Farm.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
