Great park, well maintained with lots to do for the kids. Close to town and the ice cream store. Even on a normal tide day there is plenty of beach to be creative. Lots of trees and shade..Camping lots are spaced with plenty of room.

Nice playground, great beach for tide pooling. Trails to hike. Little crabs, shells, heron, and other coastal recreation await. Plus a decent public bathroom.

Perfect park for a pic-nic on a sunny day. Tables are abundant along the beach and shoreline. Lots of drift wood.

A very calm and restful state park. During my visit, I found myself wanting to read a book by the beach and just kick back while watching the sun set 🌅!

How to access beach at birch bay state park

Holly Crownhart | Aug 18, 2021
Chad Bauer | Aug 19, 2021

If you are at the campground, use Helweg Rd to get to Birch Bay Rd. That will get you to the beach area. Otherwise, use Alderson Rd to get to Birch Bay Rd. There are plenty of access points to the beach from the parking lots throughout the park.

Is there a boat launch and a place to dock. Or how do you crab without a boat while camping there?

Lori Leming | May 15, 2021
D Tamura | May 16, 2021

There is a primitive boat launch without a dock. Launch/retrieve when tides are at least 4-5 feet but be wary tides move fast in this shallow bay. Ive seen crabbing being done on a row boat, kayak, canoe, paddle board and even just wading. But bulk of crabs being harvested are from smaller boats. There is a nicer launch with dock in the Blaine Marina for larger boats that can make the longer run down to Birch Bay. Good luck!
