Semiahmoo Bay

Semiahmoo Bay (IPA2|ˌsɛmiˈɑːmoʊ, enPR2|sĕmʹē-äʹmō), which styles itself as Sem·i·ah·moo, is the south-eastern section of Boundary Bay on the Pacific coast of North America. The name "Semiahmoo" is a Coast Salish word for "half moon". [ [http://www.semiahmoo.com/home_history.asp Semiahmoo history] ]

From the north to south, the following communities and places are located on its shore:
* North of the border, in British Columbia:
** the Crescent Beach and Ocean Park neighbourhoods of the city of Surrey
** the city of White Rock
** the Semiahmoo First Nation reserve

Blaine's Drayton Harbor opens into Semiahmoo Bay; the harbor is separated from the main body of the bay by Semiahmoo Spit. Located on the spit is the Semiahmoo Resort.

The Campbell River flows into Semiahmoo Bay on the Canadian side; California Creek and Dakota Creek flow into Drayton Harbor on the US side.
