Area Description

You can go to the beach by walking down Birch Bay Drive. Exit the house in the back, and follow the side path to Birch Bay Drive. The main park entrance is only about 100 yards east down the street. Birch Bay park is a public beach. We also are one of the few houses that has been deeded access to the private beach area that lies adjacent to the park. Feel free to use this if the park is crowded. This area of the beach is more sandy and is a prime swimming spot for smaller children at low tide.

Gound gourment coffee is provided in the house. It is a blend roasted in Seattle by one of the smaller esspresso shops and is quite good. If you want to go out for coffee, there is the C-Shop on the corner of Birch Bay Drive and Alderson Rd. They will also have a selection of baked goods, candy snacks, etc.

Birch Bay State Park is a relaxing destination. The park itself encloses of of the few Great Blue Heron breeding grounds in the state, and is also home to beaver, river otter, bald eagles and deer. During low tide, clamming, crabbing, and kayaking can be done at the beach.

A variety of golf courses abound around the area. The Birch Bay Waterslides provide a memorable experience for the children. Jogging and Bike trails provide inspiration for the exercise enthusiast.

Spa facilities can be found at Whispers at the Bay (7862 Birch Bay Drive) and the Spa at Semiamoo Resort.

Good Day Trips:
-- Victoria (Empress~High Tea, Butchart Gardens) is 1-1/2 ferryride from Twassen to Victoria
-- Vancouver, BC (Granville Island, Stanley Park Aquarium, Robson Street) is 40 minutes away
-- Point Roberts, Washington (Whale-watching from the beach)

Our family enjoyed our Easter weekend (4/10 - 4/12/09)at the Birch Bay vacation home #11914 - home was equipped with everything, all we needed to take were our toothbrushes and few personal things & of course our food - in addition, home was very cozy & comfortable, and only minutes away from the beach, it was awesome!

I would highly recommend this Birch Bay House. All the comforts of home and then some. Me & Family enjoyed inspite of the weather. Bikes were great . Bath with jets was a much loved surprise. I would have loved to stay longer then we did. This was a perfect place to stay.
