Burrows Island - An Easy Getaway
A 5-10 minute paddle from the Skyline Marina in Anaocortes, Burrows Island is a somewhat obvious yet hidden getaway. Skyline Marina is a huge facility yet undeveloped Burrows seems like it belongs in the Inside Passage or SE Alaska. There is a lighthouse on the western side of the island and a trail which circumnavigates most of the island. South of the island is Allan Island which is private.
On the eastern edge is Alice Bight, a small bay with a Cascadia Marine Trail campsite and rather comfortable outhouse.
Tidal currents rip around all sides of the island making it an fun circumnavigation. I like to cross from Skyline Marina and play in the small standing waves on the island's NE corner. Boat wakes collide with incoming current making for a few fun glides.
