Maple Beach
Maple Beach is a very popular 100-acre beach for families to gather with the kids to build sandcastles, skim-board, sun-bathing, and shellfish harvesting. Located on the Boundary Bay side of Point Roberts, the beach provides great views of Mount Baker. The beach is open daily, from 8 a.m. to dusk.
Lily Point Beach
Not your typical sandy beach, Lily Point Beach is a bit rocky, making it good for a chance to observe a variety of sea creatures. Located on more than 275 acres, Lily Point Marine Reserve has 1.4 miles of saltwater shoreline along Boundary Bay. Take the Multi-Use Loop Trail to the Beach Access Trail while observing panoramic views to access the beach.
Bluffs rise from the beach to forested upland trails perfect for the hiker and bird watching enthusiasts. You’ll find an abundance of great blue herons, harbor seals, soaring eagles, and shorebirds fishing the tidelands at this beach. You may even get a glimpse of a passing Orca.
Historically, this area was an important fishing ground of the Central Coast Salish Native peoples and homed the former Alaska Packers Association Cannery in the late 1800s. Today, only the pilings from the old cannery remain in the tidelands.
