Kayaking solo, south Fidalgo
With summer vacation in the rear view mirror traffic is lighter again on local waters, beaches and trails. This is a south Fidalgo scene.
Classic Northwest
I love the west side of Fidalgo Island, from beaches and shoreline trails to weather worn evergreens and high bluffs. This is a corner of Rosario, part of Deception Pass State Park.
Solo at Rosario
Solo kayaker strokes through kelp patch on smooth waters below Rosario Head.
Family explores tidepools
With the number of summer days dwindling, this family took advantage of sunshine to visit the tidepools at Rosario Beach. The area is monitored by staff from Deception Pass State Park.

Harlequins hang out
The harlequin on the left was already established on his shoreline perch when a buddy decided to paddle out to join him. A lot of wave action, but not enough to push them from their spot. Rosario Beach.

Huge seal takes a breather

At Rosario I spotted picnickers, beach walkers, tidepool explorers, kayakers, fishermen, families … and even a couple of small dogs sharing a paddleboard with their favorite human (definitely on a short leash). It was great to have […]
That summer feelin’
What a day! A visit to Rosario Beach felt just like a summer excursion. Lots of folks, from hikers and kayakers to picnickers and beach walkers. Sun on the face, clear blue skies. Bring it on!
