About
This public ocean beach in northwest Washington sits about half a mile from the community of Birch Bay. It's a simple, no-fee stop with restrooms on site, and swimming is allowed. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July and August typically bring highs around 73°F and lows near 55°F, with only about six wet days each month, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station in Blaine. Point Whitehorn Marine Reserve Trail, about 3 miles away, is the closest place to stretch your legs, and Dakota Creek, roughly 4.5 miles off, offers canoeing. Farther out, Hanadori Trail and Nooksack River Trail are both within about 9 miles.
