Sea Kayak - Fox Island Circumnavigation

Expect to launch just before high tide then make the short trip around Fox Island Sand Spit for an initial bio-break and to check equipment or make adjustments. There are several places to pull out along the way for rest, snacks, or other reasons. After rounding Gibson Point at the far end of the island we will land at the Fox Island Fishing pier for lunch. After lunch we will paddle against a mild current for a short time then proceed into Hale Passage toward our start/finish point. Be sure to look for Eagles, Blue Herons, Sea Stars, Kingfishers, Orcas, Seals, and various other creatures.

Plan to meet at the Fox Island Boat Ramp. The boat ramp is located on the Island side of the Fox Island Bridge. We want to launch at 10:00am so arrive about an hour early to gear up and help others haul boats to the ramp. The parking area around the boat ramp is limited so we will strive to limit our number to 6 vehicles. The parking area is also poorly maintained with many deep ruts and uneven walking areas. As much as possible we will launch from the boat ramp.
