Beach Store Cafe on Lummi Island

We decided to take a break from all our winter projects & planning to head to Lummi Island for lunch.
The Beach Store Cafe serves up some wonderful food, our most favorite being the locally-caught salmon & chips. They also have good pizzas & burgers, and a good draft beer selection. A great place to hang out in any kind of weather. Here's a view of the cafe from the ferry dock.

Mt. Baker, the Twin Sisters, and the Whatcom Chief. Lummi Island boasts 816 residents, and still has some working farms, a library, post office, grocery store, art galleries, B&B's, and the Willows Inn.

The Whatcom Chief can carry 20 cars, plus 2 cabins for foot passengers. There is currently a lot of debate between Whatcom County and the Lummi tribe regarding the location and lease of the ferry dock. As lovely as the island is, it would be hard to live in a place where both transportation and water supply are in constant crisis.
