Shell Beach Campsite (BCMT)

Shell Beach Campsite is a campground in Washington, about 8 miles from the town of Prevost. It sits among a cluster of other campsites on the BC Marine Trail, with Princess Bay Campsite just 0.6 miles away and Arbutus Point Campsite about 1.2 miles off. That makes it easy to pair with a second site in a single trip. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Friday Harbor airport weather station show July and August highs around 72 to 73°F, with only six to eight wet days a month. Winter is cooler and wetter, with highs in the mid-40s and rain on about 16 days a month from December through February. For more time on the water, Sidney Spit Campsite on the BC Marine Trail is about 6.5 miles away, and the Cape Keppel Track mountain biking route is roughly 5.6 miles off.
