The Ultimate Family Guide to Birch Bay, WA: Waterslides, Go-Karts, and Beachcombing Fun

Birch Bay is a unique coastal town that blends laid-back seaside charm with high-energy family fun. Start your day with beach combing, then dine at one of the waterfront restaurants. Grab a classic meal at C.J.’s Restaurant, catch a game or play billiards at The Shores Sports Bar, or enjoy live music at the Beach Bar as the sun goes down. At Bay Breeze, you can dine at a table directly overlooking the water. Or, after a special day at the beach with your family, cross the street to the Beach Cat Brewery where dogs and kids are welcome. They have a BYOD policy where you can Bring Your Own Dinner from a nearby food truck or the next-door beach bar.

Families will find plenty to do beyond the beach. Spend the day at the Birch Bay Waterslides, race around the go-kart track, or head to Station 49, where the events calendar features comedy nights, live bands, and even occasional dance lessons. Whether you’re here for a relaxed coastal evening or an action-packed day with the kids, Birch Bay offers something for everyone—often with a soundtrack of live music with seagulls singing in the distance.
