Roche Harbor Marina
About
Roche Harbor Marina is a public ocean beach in Washington, about a mile from the town of Roche Harbor. The site has restrooms and accessible access, and there is no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on enjoying the shoreline rather than the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. July and August typically bring highs in the low 70s and only six to eight wet days a month, according to averages from the Friday Harbor airport weather station about 8 miles away. Several short outings are close by. Westcott Bay Trail sits about a mile away, with Bell Point Trail and Young Hill Trail both within 2 miles. Paddlers can reach the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite for human powered boaters roughly 5 miles off.
