Fidalgo Marina

Fidalgo Marina in Anacortes provides public boat access to Fidalgo Bay via a single-lane concrete ramp. Located at the gateway to the San Juan Islands, this facility is ideal for paddlers and boaters looking to explore the Salish Sea region with quick access to the San Juans—typically reachable in less than an hour by boat. The site has been recently improved by the Port of Anacortes and features docking facilities alongside the launching area.

The surrounding waters offer diverse paddling opportunities. Fidalgo Bay connects to Padilla Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, which encompasses over 11,000 acres of seagrass meadows, tidal flats, sloughs, and salt marshes—excellent for exploring protected shallow-water environments. Whether you're launching for a day paddle in the bay's calmer waters or heading out to the San Juans, Fidalgo Marina serves as a convenient, well-maintained access point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized vessels.
