Where is Eagle Cove?
Eagle cove is at the southwest end of San Juan Island, along the same shore as American Camp, South Beach and Cattle Point Lighthouse. From downtown Friday Harbor head out on Cattle Point Road then take a right at Eagle Cove Drive. The parking area will be on your right once the road turns to run along the shore.
When is Eagle Cove open?
This day-use park is open all year long. Its busiest time is hot days during the summer, but it never gets crowded in the same way as mainland beaches.
Who can I call if I have more questions?
