Birch Bay Real Estate
Birch Bay is
the fastest growing
area in Whatcom County. The bay itself has a huge tide flat of sand
that is several square miles in size and bares itself at low tide, as
the water returns to the tide flats over the hot sand it warms to bath
water temperatures in the summer.
Birch Bay has
one of the largest heron nesting rookeries in the state, and outstanding
birding, especially for seabirds and shorebirds. It’s classed by
the Audubon Society as one of the 50 most Important Birding Areas in
Washington State, along with nearby Blaine’s Drayton Harbor.
The area was
until recently a summer tourist destination but it's discovery has it
rapidly becoming into a year round town. A few popular activities include
a sand castle contest in the summer and a well attended Polar Bear Swim
every New Years Day.
Birch Bay State
Park offers panoramic views of the Canadian Gulf Islands and the Cascade
Mountains. The park has over a million visitors each year. The refurbished
Birch Bay Water Slides are a big attraction to Whatcom County residents
and visitors in the summer.
Birch Bay was
one of the first places Europeans visited in the area, with a stop over
by George Vancouver over two centuries ago.
The Birch Bay
real estate market has a wide range of beautiful single family homes,
some newly built in planned communities, luxury homes on wooded property
with awesome ocean views, as well view condos.
