About Spencer Spit State Park

Spencer Spit State Park sits on the eastern side of Lopez Island in San Juan County. Its sandy spit separates a saltwater lagoon from the open water, giving visitors beach, lagoon, and forest scenery. Visitors can camp beachside or in private sites, reserve group camps, and use picnic shelters. Kayak and paddleboard rentals operate on the beach, and two miles of flat trails loop around the park's edge, along the lagoon, and out along the spit. Moorage buoys are available for boaters, and fishing and shellfishing require a state recreational license.
