No reading. The internet ends here. Do not read this blog post. This is a private article. Do not enter. Oh, hello! Sorry about that - I just wanted to prepare you for exploring Iceberg Point on Lopez Island. It's one of our favorite places in the Northwest and we almost missed it…twice…due to the secretive/no trespassing vibe that surrounds this gorgeous place! First, park at nearby Agate Beach Park. Make sure to use the best composting toilet on the planet while you're there (pics below). After parking at nearby Agate Beach and walking up a residential gravel road (hence the no parking signs everywhere), you'll almost miss your right turn unless you're looking out for the rusty, small, almost hidden Iceberg Pt. sign. From there, cross a few more warning signs and start down the path. Luckily some super nice neighbors, including a really furry one, pointed us in the right direction. After a little of woods walking you'll arrive at fields overlooking the Strait. Cliffs jet down to the sea and you'll see the Olympics across the water. Look to the west and you'll be staring at Canada! An amazing place. Totally worth the short hike from Agate Beach. We were here on a sunny summer day and the place was totally free of people. If you're anywhere close to Lopez Island you must come here!

Love the Point - when I lived and taught on Lopez I used to walk out there at least once a week just to relax and enjoy the view. Even in the rain and wind it is spectacular. We did some field trips there with students at Lopez HS and when I took a class at Friday Harbor Labs we also did a field trip there from the labs. Lots of invertebrates throughout the San Juan Islands, but this is one of the best to observe them at low low tides. Enjoy.
