Semiahmoo Resort, major golf resort and spa near Blaine, Washington
Semiahmoo Resort is a hotel in Blaine, Washington, set on a narrow peninsula that reaches into the Salish Sea. The property has rooms with water views, a golf course, a restaurant focused on local seafood, spa services, and beach access.
The resort opened in the 1980s on the site of a former salmon cannery that once operated as one of the largest on the Pacific Coast. Before that industrial period, the peninsula had been home to the Semiahmoo people for a very long time.
The resort takes its name from the Semiahmoo people, who lived on this peninsula for generations before European settlement. Signs of this connection appear throughout the property, and the surrounding land and water still carry the character of the place those people called home.
The resort sits on a peninsula, so most paths naturally lead toward the water and it is easy to find your way around on foot. Summer months tend to offer the calmest beach conditions, though the site is open and walkable year-round.
The spit on which the resort stands was once connected to the mainland by a longer, wider strip of land, and old maps show how dramatically the shoreline has shifted over time. On still days, the shallow water around the peninsula mirrors the sky so closely that the horizon nearly disappears.
