Watmough Bay
Watmough Bay sits at the southern tip of Lopez Island, tucked right alongside a section of the San Juan Islands National Monument — drop the hook here and you've got a quietly spectacular anchorage with real wilderness at your doorstep. The bay is sheltered and scenic, and the short trail ashore takes you through the Watmough Bay Preserve with almost no elevation gain, making it an easy stretch of the legs.
