Birch Bay has a large sandy tide land filled with clams and other sea life. You can purchase a shellfish licence at the state park or general store and rent a bucket and shovel from us and gather your dinner.
Great fun for the kids, many memories of their vacation at the bay!
Sand Castle Days arrive on the low tide in June where everyone has fun building sand scuptures. Judging just before the tide comes in!
