8 Places Where U.S. State Borders Get Strange

Point Roberts is what's known as a "pene-exclave" — a region that only has road access through a different country.

This unincorporated community is located about 25 miles south of Vancouver, British Columbia, at the southern tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, the rest of which belongs to Canada. With just 4.9 square miles of total area, Point Roberts wasn't exactly a hotly contested region. It was simply declared a part of the U.S. due to the fact that it extends south of the 49th parallel, which technically forms the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This isolated community serves as the full-time home for around 1,200 Americans, though it is a popular tourist destination during the summer for its bird-watching opportunities. However, to access Point Roberts by car, you'll need to drive north into Canada and travel 23 miles before crossing the border back into the U.S. You can also reach Point Roberts by plane or aboard a chartered boat.
