The fish cannery industry played an integral role in the development of the Semiahmoo region. Stop by the Drayton Harbor Maritime Museum — located just one mile from the resort and a convenient stop off the beach shore path — and view exhibits that go all the way back to 1894 covering the history of the Alaska Packers Association. The museum is open Friday to Sunday, 1 – 5PM from Memorial Day through September.
Semiahmoo Marina is located across from Blaine, Washington on the south side of the entrance to Drayton Harbor on the north end of the sand spit that forms the S.W. side of the harbor. The modern & well-maintained marina has almost 300 slips and offers every amenity including fuel dock, electric supply, guest slips, bathroom with free showers, gift shop and more.
Blaine’s motto is “Where America Begins.” The community is also known as “The Gateway to the Pacific Northwest” and the “Peace Arch City.” All these phrases are commentaries on Blaine’s unique locale. Blaine By the Sea offers year-round events celebrating a wide array of family-fun activities. Plan your visit anytime of the year, there’s bound to be something to do.
