Point Roberts, USA – Lighthouse Marine Park

My husband and I camped here and were so delighted, as the campsite is so close to the Pacific Ocean. We both grew up near the ocean in the Lower Mainland, BC – so we love to be close to the open water and smell the fresh salty ocean air! We would sit on the beach in the mornings before exploring out and about, and every night we sat on the beach to watch the beautiful coloured sunsets – every night was different and always spectacular!

This campsite has 30 available sites and even has a kitchen shelter located near the beach. If you are interested in camping near the ocean you can book your stay from April 1st through to October 31st. I honestly, want to go again, as it is so peaceful here and it is a nice place to take your bikes and bike around the area and just enjoy a slow pace of life!

We loved this vacation spot as it was quiet, on the ocean and only 35 km away from Vancouver, BC. While vacationing here, we went on many excursions and ventured into the Vancouver area to take in some shopping and entertainment.

While relaxing on the beach we spotted a pod of Orcas and a number of boats following them on the Ocean. It was a spectacular sight and we didn’t even have to pay a cent for the sighting!

We went for a hike at lily Point Park and enjoyed the beautiful views of Lily Point and boundary Bay from the top of the bluffs. The walk was not difficult and it was only about a half mile before we reached the view point. We absolutely loved it!♥
