Fossil Bay

Fossil Bay is a sheltered anchorage on the northwest side of Orcas Island, where you drop the hook and settle into a quietly stunning Pacific Northwest scene surrounded by forested shoreline. The bay sits just outside the small town of Eastsound, so you're never far from fresh provisions, restaurants, and the quirky local shops that make this island worth exploring. It's a calm, well-protected spot that rewards anyone willing to take their time here.
