Marine Parks of the San Juan Islands and Surrounding Area

Below is the marine parks list

             followed by reviews, charts, and pictu res

                         in the order listed.

        This is not all the parks, just the ones you may want to make part of your cruising. It's unlikely you can visit all in one trip and still do a decent job of sightseeing. You should plan multiple visits to the San Juans.

Many people choose Jones as their favorite for just hanging for a few days, so Jones is first.
For hiking, Sucia, or Pelican Beach on Cypress Island are the best, but all the parks have hiking trails.

      Some parks are in a convenient location when you need to spend the night and you're between destinations, Saddle Bag, Eagle Harbor, and Odlin would fit this description. 

 Most parks with docks have picnic tables on the floats, which are very handy for extending your living area, socializing, and meeting other boaters.
