Mud Bay
Mud Bay sits on the southern end of Orcas Island, offering a quiet anchorage well away from the bustle of Eastsound. You'll drop anchor off a sheltered shoreline backed by dense Pacific Northwest forest, with little development in sight. It's a solid jumping-off point if you're heading toward Obstruction Pass or exploring the quieter eastern reaches of the San Juan Islands.
