Blaine Harbor Inlet
The most popular destination is the inlet to Blaine Harbor by Semiahmoo Resort-Golf-Spa. Paddling out from here one can see harbor seals bobbing their heads for a curious view and the common Loon diving beneath the water’s surface for fish. This is a popular beach location in summer, with a sandy beach sitting between two wharf buildings that’s perfect for launching kayaks and paddleboards. It’s also a fantastic spot for lounging in a beach chair and watching the kids swimming. Rent your equipment right here at one of the wharf buildings housing the Semiahmoo Beach Activity Center.

Semiahmoo Bay shoreline
Kayaking Semiahmoo Bay along Semiahmoo Park shoreline offers extraordinary views of White Rock, BC and the Strait of Georgia along with the coming and goings of harbor sailboats and an occasional commercial fishing boat. This is a favorite spot for those on the water sunsets Semiahmoo style.
The calm waters of Drayton Harbor
