Washington Park
Anacortes, WA
Washington Park covers 220 acres at the western tip of Fidalgo Island, jutting into Rosario Strait, free to enter and big enough to spend a whole afternoon exploring. Sunset Beach is the developed, swimmable stretch near the boat launch, while a 2.3-mile loop road opens up a string of rockier pullout beaches along Green Point for anyone who'd rather drive and stop as they go.
Big, free, and varied, with a real developed beach and miles of rockier shoreline besides, a genuinely local-loved Anacortes park.
How we score beachesBike or walk the 2.3-mile loop road if the weather's decent; it's a genuinely popular local route and the Burrows Bay viewpoint partway around is worth the stop.
Free, no charge for the park.
This isn't one entrance, it's a stretch with a few. Here's where locals actually meet up.
