Camano Island State Park — Saturday, Sep. 9, 2023

Puget Sound and Islands > Bellingham Area
Sunday morning beach view

Camped at one of the camp sites. Mosquitoes were bad both at our site and at the beach. I forgot bug spray so my souvenir was 10+ bites. 

The most direct trail down to the beach is closed right now so the alternative route is taking the road down. There are signs that say pedestrians in roadway but of course cars were zooming up and down the road so on the way back to our site, we took the trail that is open but is not the most direct way back up. It is steep in some parts but our toddler took their time and was able to walk holding an adult's hand. Trail well maintained. 

Saturday afternoon it was high tide but saw a few large jelly fish washed up on shore. Sunday morning went back to the beach around 6:30 and other than one person fishing, my dog and I were the only ones on the beach. Oh, other than a heron and a seal also fishing. It was low tide in the morning and the beach is very rocky and a bit difficult to walk all the way to the water since the rocks were slippery.
