Birch Bay Village, located between Birch Bay Drive and the Semiahmoo Bay shoreline, is a gated and waterfront Birch Bay neighborhood with private marina slips and golf-course greens. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Birch Bay Village Marina and clubhouse area, where docks, cart paths, and a low-key social calendar set the pace. Architecture leans toward Northwest contemporary and well-kept single-family homes, many oriented to water or fairway views. Days track with boating, walking loops, and beachcombing along the bay. For local flavor, The C Shop, Beach Cat Brewing, and Blaine Performing Arts Center serve as familiar gathering points beyond the gates.
