Upright Channel Recreation Site

Upright Channel Recreation Site is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 5 miles from Friday Harbor. It's a simple, low-key stop: restrooms are on site, swimming is allowed, and there's no fee to use it. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Friday Harbor airport weather station show July and August highs in the low 70s, with only six to eight wet days a month, while winter months see highs in the 40s and around 16 wet days. Canoe Island French Camp sits about a mile away, and the Fisherman Bay Spit trail is less than 2 miles off. For an overnight on the water, the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Spencer Spit State Park is roughly 3 miles away, and the Darwin Trail, about 5 miles out, offers another walk in the area.
