Swifts Bay, Lopez - professionally installed buoy
Discover convenient and secure moorage at Swifts Bay, Lopez Island, with our professionally maintained mooring buoy. It's perfectly situated in the center of the bay and secured by a helical screw anchor. Enjoy easy shore access via a short dinghy ride to either Spencer Spit State Park or the public beach at the Port Stanley Road end, providing a perfect base for exploring all that Lopez Island offers.
From San Juan Islands Visitor's Bureau: "...don't miss a stop along Port Stanley Road along Swifts Bay up near Spencer Spit State Park where an ordinary driftwood beach has transformed into a whimsical art gallery of driftwood people, prehistoric birds, and spooky animals, courtesy of the creative whims of residents nearby."
Please be respectful of the nearby residents by keeping noise to a minimum during your visit.
Please note: Eelgrass beds are prevalent throughout Swifts Bay, so we strongly encourage all visitors to utilize a buoy rather than anchoring to help protect this vital marine habitat.
