Lopez is legit: Shark Reef Sanctuary

11/9/2013

   I'll just go ahead and quote myself when I say that Lopez Island, Washington has a "tri-force of awesomeness". Iceberg point, Watmough Bay, and now finally Shark Reef Sanctuary make Lopez the BEST San Juan Island (No? debate in our comment section!).

   After parking at Shark Reef you'll head down a forest-y trail to the rocky shore.

   From there, short trails head down the shoreline, weaving through trees and over rocks. You'll probably notice the tidal rapids roaring through Cattle Pass. It's like a saltwater river - you might want to plan ahead if your coming through this pass by boat!

   All & all, a great park. Lopez Island is a beautiful place. A stop to the San Juans without checking out these sights is big mistake! Check it out!

P.S. The map below gets you pretty close - the actual park/parking lot is a touch south from Shark Reef Rd & Burt Rd.

We have been there many times but the first time we did see the tidal flow going VERY fast. We've never seen that again and wondered when and what conditions need to be for us to see that again. We love this hike! Went 2 times yesterday.
