San Juan Airlines has begun scheduled service to and from Point Roberts.
Flights depart Bellingham for Point Roberts every Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and depart Point Roberts for Bellingham on the same days, at 9:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Point Roberts – known by locals as “Point Bob” or “The Point” – is located in Whatcom County. Yes, in the United States of America! But while Point Roberts is a part of the mainland United States, it’s not physically connected to it.
Located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, 22 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Point Roberts can only be reached by land from the rest of the United States by traveling over the Canadian border and through 23 miles of Canadian roads.
So why not take a flight instead? With new, scheduled flights, Point Roberts can now be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the United States quickly and easily.
In fact, San Juan Airlines offers the only scheduled service in and out of Point Roberts – taking just 20 minutes, and with no border crossing hassle.
An anomaly of politics and geography, Point Roberts has saltwater on three sides and a land bridge to the north connecting it to Canada. Point Roberts Marina provides boaters with the perfect location to discover the San Juan Islands, the Canadian Gulf Islands, world-class golf, and a private airport.
Point Roberts is the perfect getaway that’s still just minutes from the heart of Vancouver. Let San Juan Airlines get you there!
