About Birch Bay

The fastest growing area in Whatcom County, Birch Bay’s claim to fame is 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. Also, Birch Bay, unlike other coastal areas in Whatcom County is void of railroad track running along the shoreline. It has one of the largest heron nesting areas in the state, a large state park and outstanding birding throughout the year. Activities in Birch Bay include biking, clamming, kite flying, wind surfing, crabbing, skim boarding, bird watching and more.

Birch Bay is home to several communities. Most popular is Birch Bay Village a gated community with 24/7 security, 9-hole private golf club, private marina and private parks and community pool with clubhouse. Other communities include Jacobs Landing, Mariners Cove, Bay Rim Condos, Point Whitehorn and several new seaside condos under construction. Birch Bay is just 25 minutes from downtown Bellingham and less than 10 minutes to the border in Blaine between British Columbia and Washington State.
