BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • Accessible only by boat, the park includes 564 acres and miles of shoreline, offering endless bay and cove exploration for kayakers and sailors.
  • There are ten miles of trails, 60 campsites, a dock, and a few great spots for scuba divers.
  • Buoys are plentiful. Fossil Bay has the most and potable water; Snoring Bay has two; Echo Bay has 14; Ewing Cove and Fox Cove each have four; and Shallow Bay has eight. Boaters should know, however, that the waters around the island are studded with rocks and reefs, and some entrances to harbors and coves require a skilled hand.
Sucia Island is about two and a half miles north of Orcas Island. It's an incredibly beautiful park, arguably the most beautiful island in the San Juans and the acknowledged crown jewel of Washington's marine park system.
