| We are home to one of
the finest dredged marinas
in the Pacific Northwest and the local waters are a favorite for the commercial
salmon fleet and sports fishers.
The Point
Roberts Golf & Country Club Phase-One has been completed and is
open for play.
Summer months lure sunbathers to
the beaches, bicycles, joggers and big city dwellers escaping for a cruise
in the country.
A moderate year round climate, with
an annual rainfall of 30", sunlit beaches and a welcoming rural atmosphere
with tall cedar and fir trees make for a pleasant combination for family
life and business. The population expands as the summer sun invites tourists
to some of the warmest water on the coast. The tide at Boundary Bay comes
in over a square mile of firm sand bars, making it an ideal walking beach.
Looking southward and surrounded
in the distance by Vancouver Island, San Juan Island, the Cascade Range,
and Mount Baker, there are picturesque vistas of calming beauty from all
sides. |
A stroll along the beach
may find you catching a rainbow over one of the San Juan islands…and be
sure to keep a look out for the resident pods J, K and L of Orca whales
which are native to the Point. Usually, you can see them soar into the
air as they swim by…one of nature’s most majestic creatures.
Another
sight that is common to Point Roberts is bald eagles winging along the
coast with the egrets. Their wings skimming over the ocean searching for
salmon is something that only the truly lucky few get to experience.
The end of every day brings yet another
sunset so spectacular to rival even those of Hawaii. Nature is at her best
here at Point Roberts…a magical place full of wonder and surprise that
will speak to your spirit and soul. |
