is a U.S. exclave bordered by Canada and the waters of Boundary Bay. It is 22 miles south of Downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. Point Roberts is part of the U.S. because it lies south of the 49th parallel, which constitutes the Canada-U.S. border in that area.  Point Roberts borders the municipality of Delta in British Columbia. Boundary Bay lies to the east of Point Roberts and the Strait of Georgia to the south and west. The peninsula is about 2 miles from north to south and about 3 miles from east to west. It has an area of 4.884 square miles.  The only authorized land access to Canada from Point Roberts is Tyee Drive, a major thoroughfare northward that becomes 56th Street in Canada. Point Roberts also has a small airport and a large marina for air and water access.   Point Roberts lies within a depression created by Vancouver Island, the north shore mountains surrounding Vancouver, and the North Cascades (including Mount Baker). This micro-climate provides some of the mildest weather in the Pacific Northwest. With annual precipitation of about 40 inches, Point Roberts enjoys more sunny days and a milder climate than its neighbors.
