In the map below of the “Greater Puget Sound” inland waters you can see that Vancouver Island, part of British Columbia, Canada, is located to the west of the San Juan Islands, protecting them from the wave action of the Pacific Ocean to the west.

We spent years visiting Lopez Island in the spring, summer, and fall. We were boaters and enjoyed visiting the Islander Resort on Fisherman Bay and tying up to the buoys at Spencer Spit State Park.

Spencer Spit State Park

Spencer Spit State Park is a 138 acre marine and camping park on the northeast corner of the island facing Lopez Sound and Blakely Island. It was purchased from the Spencer Family in 1976. They had lived on the site for over 50 years. It has both camping and buoys for yachts.

More about the Island

From Spencer Spit State Park it is about a 3.5 miles walk to Lopez Village across the north end of the island. Lopez Village is the commercial hub of the island.

It is about 0.6 mile from the docks at the Islander Resort to Lopez Village. Lopez Village is about 4.25 miles southwest of the ferry landing on the island and the Islander Resort is about 4.7 miles from the ferry landing.

Lopez Island is about 11 miles long and 4.5 miles wide at its widest point. It is one of only four islands of the 175 San Juan islands that are serviced by Washington State Ferries. Lopez island is the first stop out of the Anacortes Ferry terminal. It takes about 45 minutes for the ferry to travel from Anacortes to Lopez island. The estimated population of Lopez Island is over 1700 people , but the population varies widely by the season.

Lopez is known as “The Friendly Island.” It is a favorite with cyclists because of the absence of cars on the roads and the relatively flat terrain.
