What can I see and d0 at Reuben Tarte County Park?

The founder of nearby Roche Harbor Resort created this small Park. It provides useful access to the many park islands along the northern edge of the San Juans. Whether you are launching here for a longer trip or just looking for a good picnic spot you won’t be disappointed. The rocky point of the Park is fun to scramble over and also boasts great tide pools during low tide. The two pebbly crescent beaches open onto deep water where seals often play in the kelp beds and orcas pass by.
