Absolutely the best sand beach in the area! Great for a day at the beach or camping in primitive sites. The whole island is a park with trails to explore the forested inland and coves and beaches all the way around. The Tillicum Village has traditional crafts, traditional salmon bake meals, and traditional shows to share the old ways of the Salish natives. Worth educating yourself through this privileged and pricey access to the less seen and less appreciated 1st Nations culture.
Near the village there is a small harbour where both private boats dock and a daily tour boat brings a literal boat load of tourists over from Seattle to have a traditional salmon bake meal and show, and shop for unique gifts. If you come this far, visit the village as well as the trails and beaches around the island. It is a wonderful place full of nature and spirit! Enjoy!
