Birch Bay, Washington, a quaint coastal resort town minutes from the U.S.-Canada border, is two hours north of Seattle and under an hour from Vancouver, British Columbia. The area has golf courses, a beautiful state park, walking trails, biking, water slides, sandy beaches, whale-watching, windsurfing, and sailing. The Audubon Society rates Birch Bay as a top Washington State birdwatching spot. Many Birch Bay cabins are beachfront or close to the shore, and the resort’s claim to fame is the large tidal flat of sand that allows the bay water to warm to bath water temperatures in the summer.
The Tide Catcher’s beachfront cabins have bay views, patios with deck chairs, and a private beach. This family-owned resort features quaint two- and three-bedroom cabins with views of Birch Bay. All cabins have a refrigerator, stove, microwave, and kitchen table & chairs. Guests should bring dishware, pots and pans, cooking utensils, bedding, and towels. One dog (no other pets) may be allowed with prior permission and a non-refundable fee of $75.00 per week. ??
