Tsawwassen (pop: 25,000) is a suburban community in south-west Delta that calls itself the sunniest place in Greater Vancouver. Luxury waterfront homes line Tsawwassen's coast. Tsawwassen is also home to the busy Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal which links the mainland to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. The town of Point Roberts sits on a peninsula attached to Tsawwassen (south of 49th parallel north) and actually belongs to Whatcom County, Washington. The town is thus one of the two points in the US that is accessible only through Canada or through a water body. It is accessible by the Tsawwassen/Point Roberts border crossing at the foot of 56th Street, the main artery through the community. Tsawwassen is also known as South Delta.
