The center rents boats and holds weekend toy-boatbuilding workshops, and a super rocky shoreline makes seafaring the preferred method of arrival and departure. The Center for Wooden Boats and its classic craft are center stage by the water, surrounded by cedar cabins that resemble an upscale sleepaway camp. The beach is all about boats on Camano Island, where the parking lot to its most popular sound-front space is uphill and out of sight. The protected North Bay just south of Friday Harbor truly shines-literally-at night, when bioluminescent dinoflagellates illuminate the water when brushed with a kayak paddle, though guided groups are usually the only ones allowed after the park closes at dusk.
Like so many Washington beaches, this San Juan Island park is where driftwood comes to its bleached-white rest, creating a barricade between dark, dense sand and a grassy bluff. Even the bathrooms are offshore, floating in Possession Sound. Not one of those hard-to-reach islands that eat up half a day in ferry line waits, Everett’s offshore isle is a free 10-minute passenger ferry ride away, and the man-made island is little more than two miles of beach.
