Cama Beach Historical State Park
Camano Island, WA
Cama Beach Historical State Park is the restored site of a 1930s family fishing resort on Saratoga Passage's southwest shore, with 24 rustic waterfront cabins and two beach bungalows available to rent, a genuinely distinctive way to stay right on a Washington beach. The Center for Wooden Boats runs rentals here too, and a sandy, pebbly beach and café round it out.
The historic resort character, rentable cabins, and wooden boat rentals genuinely set it apart from a standard beach park.
How we score beachesBook the waterfront cabins well ahead if an overnight stay is the plan; renting a genuine historic fishing cabin right on the beach is a rare enough option in this state that it fills up.
A Discover Pass is required for day use.
