Eighty acres of all-season fun makes this resort ideal for your next family vacation. The resort is located just two hours north of Seattle and one hour south of Vancouver, next to the Pacific Ocean. That means plenty of outdoor or cultural activities are available within this great Northwest region.     

 

Situated in a wooded setting, Beachwood overlooks beautiful Birch Bay, a saltwater bay that offers summertime beach fun as well as peaceful winter solitude. The Birch Bay area features multiple golf courses, including world-class greens. Other nearby attractions include ocean swimming, beach activities, and fishing.     

 

Ever try crabbing or clamming? This is a great area for you and your family to try your luck during low tide. You’ll learn about the best methods using pots and rings, or you can simply walk onto the sand and collect them by hand.     

 

Agates abound for the taking if rock hounding appeals to you, and water slides at Birch Bay will thrill the kids.  Horseback riding, miniature golf and go-kart tracks are also available within the area. Those interested in the region’s history might want to attend scheduled archeology lectures sponsored by the Birch Bay State Park. Evidence indicates that the area was once inhabited by Semiahmoo, Lummi and Nooksack tribes since prehistoric times. Later, white settlers logged fir trees with oxen and horse teams—large old-growth stumps remain to tell the story.     

 

Back at the resort, dances, potlucks, breakfasts, and sports round out the activities, and the clubhouse is available for private parties. Or you might just want to soak up the breathtaking view of snow-capped Mt. Baker as well as the plush Northwest woodlands and natural coastal beauty.
