Food Scene

Open Summer weekends, dining on the grassy area is divine. The view at sunset is stunning, surrounded by Diana's gorgeous garden. Bring a wrap, once the sun goes down below the trees, it can get chilly, even mid summer. Usually open mid March to mid Sept. http://www.southbeachhousepointroberts.com

Nice little spot, with fabulous views of Georgia Strait from inside or their extensive deck during the warmer months. Gorgeous fireplace for winter visits. Nice coffee bar. Never had a bad meal here, my favorite Point Bob eatery to get friends for coffee or lunch. http://www.thesaltwatercafe.com

Sightseeing

A walk along the path off the bluff with views of the San Juan and Gulf Islands is gorgeous. Sunset is glorious. There are a few adirondack chairs to rest and enjoy the view. There is a eagles nest that can be seen during the winter. Follow all signage during nesting season, do not disturb them.

Parks & Nature

Quaint cottages, great swimming and kayaking beach. At super low tide you can walk out to the border marker between the US and Canada. Warm summer days while the tide is coming in, some of the warmest water north of San Diego for swimming. Lots of sandbars for beach combing, great place to walk. At low ride you can walk to Lily Point beach, location of the former APA, (Alaska Packers Association) Cannery. Winter time look for soaring eagles and blue herons fishing.

It has beautiful views of the San Juan Islands. Orca whales hang out here and are often spotted. Fabulous spot to see the sunset behind Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. Boardwalk has recently been redone, smaller than in the past, still great spot for a picnic. Walking along the pathway is always open.

If it's hot, this is a cool place to take a walk, stunning views of Mount Baker and Vancouver from the east look out, San Juan Islands from the south one. Eagles soaring. A magical place. Lots of native flora and fauna to enjoy. Look but don't touch. Restroom facilities and ample parking available.

The view to the west is stunning from here. Up for a hike, steps down to the beach, walk along the west facing beach. This is marker Number One along the US/Canadian border.

Essentials

This is a good place to get essentials. Be aware that bringing some food stuff from Canada into Point Roberts is illegal. Produce items are the biggest issue. Best to be safe and just buy what you need here. Nice deli for quick pick up meals. Roasted chicken and fries are great!
