Sandy barrier island with wide tidal sandbars, driftwood, kiteboarders and seabirds against Puget Sound and distant mountains. Best at sunrise/sunset for warm light and silhouettes; low tide reveals dynamic foregrounds and tidal pools. Accessible by seasonal passenger ferry from Everett (no cars); park at the ferry dock and check schedules; bring wind protection and waterproof shoes. Weekdays and early mornings are least crowded.
