Birch Bay Beach Stays Blog

From summer waterslides to winter snow sports at nearby Mt. Baker, Birch Bay, Washington is the perfect home base for year-round exploration. Located in Whatcom County, just north of Bellingham, Birch Bay offers easy access to an artistic, free-spirited, and nature-loving region known for outdoor recreation, farmers markets, and unique local festivals. In January, Bellingham locals bundle up for Fire & Story: A Festival of Folk, Light & Lore, an outdoor celebration of music, crafts, dance, and storytelling. During summer, Birch Bay hosts its nostalgic Rollback Weekend, featuring vintage fashion, antique car shows, and sand-sculpture competitions. Visitors staying in Birch Bay during New Year’s Eve or July 4th won’t want to miss the spectacular fireworks. With its coastal setting and proximity to Vancouver, BC and surrounding Canadian towns, Birch Bay vacation rentals offer a comfortable, scenic base for exploring the Pacific Northwest.
