Semiahmoo Resort is known throughout Western Washington and Canada as a peaceful, romantic getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s surrounded on three sides by quintessential Pacific Northwest beaches, with unobstructed, whitecapped mountain and bay views. Beautiful wildlife abounds in every season.
Valentine’s Day at the resort is magical. Surprise your significant other with a romantic getaway; wander the beach, dine in a pier-side restaurant and warm your feet by one of the many fireplaces located throughout the resort.
Winter in Semiahmoo can be the perfect elixir for a romantic revamp any time of year, but the slower offseason pace is especially ideal for Valentine’s Day.
“Engaged and Married here, this is our favorite place to escape to.”
If the weather’s nice, you and your partner can enjoy long, relaxed walks on the beach, comb for shells, watch marine life and birds. Semiahmoo also offers bike rentals. It’s gray outside? Spend time in your lovely room with a crackling fire, listening to the rain on the water.
“Semiahmoo holds a special place in our hearts.”
One of the lesser known winter secrets is the unique birdwatching in this area. Semiahmoo Bay and Drayton Harbor host thousands of migratory birds in the winter. They settle for the season to enjoy the calm, protected waters of Drayton Harbor while their inland summer nesting grounds are frozen over.
