Sharpe County Park
About
Sharpe County Park is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 4.4 miles from Anacortes. The park has restrooms, and there is no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed, so plan on enjoying the shoreline from the beach rather than the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Whidbey Island NAS put July and August highs around 70°F, with only about six wet days a month, while winter brings highs near 49°F and rain on more than half the days. For an overnight option, the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Deception Pass State Park sits about 1.2 miles away. Farther afield, Coville Circle and Hilltop Vista are hikes about 7 miles off, and the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Joseph Whidbey is roughly 8.7 miles away.
