Garrison Bay
Garrison Bay is a well-protected anchorage tucked into the northwest corner of San Juan Island, offering a calm, quiet retreat away from the busier waters nearby. You'll drop anchor here in a scenic, wooded setting that's steeped in history — the site of English Camp, part of the San Juan Island National Historical Park, is right on the shoreline. It's worth going ashore to explore the original buildings and formal garden from the 1860s British military occupation, a genuinely rare find.
