Great place to meet & greet friends & family from both sides of the borders without waiting in the vehicle Customs line. The U.S. ???????? side is designed to easily to find & access the park. Excellent view of the San de Fuca Strait. It is WA State Park. Day Pass/ yearly Pass are required. The park has plenty of space. Clean restrooms. I can say it is the Safest Park. The U.S. Borders Patrol are watching from the parking lot. On the Canadian side CBP Officers are stationed on 0 Avenue. CBP cars are creating a single lane into Canadian Port of Entry. There are signs all across the Peace Arch Park lawn stating that the Border is closed. Pedestrians are hesitant to cross that line. I’ve heard of one case where a Canadian couple entered the the US Customs Station to ask for information. On there way back the Canadian CBP gave them a mandatory 2 weeks quarantine. Finding the Peace Arch park on the Canadian ???????? side is a lot harder. You have to travel a maze of streets. Street parking on 0 Avenue is not allowed. Residential parking 1-2 blocks away from the park is the only option.

First time to see this area, we took a Sunday drive. Weather was in the 50's and a little cloudy. We really enjoyed the views here. We took a long walk. Went to the end where Semiahmoo Resort and Drayton Harbor, with lots of history. There were people out enjoying the day as we were. Didn't feel crowded. I'm sure summers are very different. Dogs on and off leash, but well behaved and picked up after. Clean beach. We saw several types of seashells that had washed up on the beach. There is a museum, gift shop, marina, golf course, and so much more! If you haven't been...you should!
