James Island Marine State Park

Love this place. Very accessible, lovely island. Many views walking along the island trails and exploring the pocket beaches. The new dock is much larger with more docking space available. Watch out for swirling currents often opposite the direction of the current in the straits when docking. Also, watch out for the raccoons if you are camping on shore at night. They are cute but mischievous!

Great spot for a picnic or overnight, land or dock. The Straits side buoys have some ferry boat wakes to help rock you to sleep...or not.

Great place to visit if you have a boat. You can tie up to a buoy on the east side of the island but be prepared for some rocking because of the Washington State Ferries that pass by regularly except late at night. Another option is to tie up to to the dock on the west side, which is available from late spring to early fall. Enjoy great views by hiking the loop trails. Take a photo of the map on the park sign board.

Beautiful place, I would love to come back here

Perfect place for my dog to swim. Great new dock accept now the big boats take up all the space so we can no longer stay the night anymore.. we love stopping as it's so beautiful.
