This Squalicum Harbor chart shows launch ramps, and marina docks, used by boaters beginning a San Juan Islands cruise from Bellingham, Washington.

✔ Tip When considering Washington Park or Squalicum Harbor or Cornet Bay as your departure/return point, don't let the minimal highway mileage differences influence your choice. For us, where we are headed on day #1 and where we plan to be on the last day are what we have found determine our best place to begin. Of course, some of us just plan to go sailing with little consideration for where we spend the night.
