This section of the Fidalgo Bay shoreline is currenty closed to the public as an environmental cleanup/restoration is underway. But when it re-opens, it will be yet another amazing “jewel” in the treasure chest of Anacortes assets. This section of beach is part of the former Scott Paper mill site, adjacent to Cap Sante Boat Haven. In addition to a cleanup of uplands areas, the environmental project includes dredging of the bay and removal of contaminated materials from the beach. New breakwaters just off the beach will create a “lagoon-like area where shallow water and warmer water temperature will invite wading. A new pier similar to the Central Pier at Cap Sante Boat Haven is also under construction. Overseeing the work is the Port of Anacortes.
