Birch Bay is a cute seaside town in North Western Washington. It boasts a large sandy tide flat of several square miles as the tide returns to shore the water warms in the summer. It is the perfect place for a summer vacation.

It has large heron nesting areas, a state park at the south end and outstanding birding and sightseeing throughout the year. Birch Bay is 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 in the Discovery on his Expedition in 1792 landed on Cottonwood Beach with his fellows including 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 to brew beer, a common staple on the long voyage- they named Birch Bay after the same tree.

Summertime stay at the Blue Heron
It was a great summer time stay at the Blue Heron! The beach is close. Nice place to go for a run, or a nice walk along the shoreline at Birch Bay. The town of Blaine is just 5-10 minutes away. Marine Park is a beautiful shoreline park there. Peace Arch Park is a must see. Semiahmoo Spit trail is a fun time too! Bellingham is close by. Fairhaven. Whatcom Creek provides some great swimming holes. The Blue Heron is a peaceful home that is right in the middle of it all!
