What can I see and do at Shaw County Park?

Shaw County Park faces south towards Lopez Island. The sandy beach along Indian Cove is perfect for lounging or swimming in the cold but clear water. If you are looking for a quiet woodland camping experience, but enjoy the convenience of ferry travel this is the Park for you. 

• Several of the campsites are right along the water, shaded by evergreens and madronas. They also have fire pits and picnic tables. 
• The secluded Park has only 11 sites so even when it’s full it’s not very crowded. Relax next to the water or stroll along the quiet country roads. 
• The only services on the Island come from the small general store by the Ferry Landing.
