I have used this critical link preC19 in October 2018, June 2019, and during the pandemic October 2020, and hopefully again in June 2021. I have wandered the island, loved the beauty and tranquility, and especially enjoyed visiting Sunset Beach and The Willows Inn. Ferry crew are efficient, professional, and have safety in mind. I have travelled across in sunny/calm, foggy, and stormy conditions. Google and check their site for the current conditions, schedule, and fare information. PreC19 it was cash only, during the pandemic masks required and debit/credit cards allowed.

It's a really quick several minute trip between the mainland (Gooseberry Point in Bellingham) and…read moreLummi Island. The service is pretty frequent: 2~3 times an hour on weekdays and once an hour on the weekend. Here's a link to the official schedule page: http://www.co.whatcom.wa.us/562/Ferry-Schedule. I think it's very inexpensive. We took our car (a small SUV). It was only $20 round trip ($13 for the vehicle and the driver and $7 for the additional passenger). Here's a link to the official fare page: http://wa-whatcomcounty.civicplus.com/DocumentCenter/View/12671 Things to know: -There's no public transportation on Lummi Island; you either take your car on the ferry or hitchhike there (which does not seem uncommon there) -It's a very small ferry. Cars will be very close to each other on the ferry; they are so close that you cannot open the door to get out of your car. -You pay for roundtrip when you go to Lummi Island; it's "free" to go back to Gooseberry Point. -You pay on the ferry. They accept credit cards. Other than the (almost) uncomfortably tight situation on the ferry, I'm very happy with this ferry service to Lummi Island. ****************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" so that I can improve my reviews.

Rocks, driftwood and the open sea: this is a quaint little park that (for a mainland Washingtonian)…read moreis a bit of an odyssey to visit. A tiny community subsisting on "tourist" dollars from Canada (man, I sure hope they are doing alright, with the borders being closed due to COVID), Point Roberts was a bucket list item of mine, being one of the few enclaves in the US. Due to a geographic anomaly placing the peninsula below the 49th Parallel, it requires two border crossings (and a passport) to reach it by land. Canadians often come here for the cheap gasoline and liquor (truly the hallmarks of American culture!), and to park their yachts and boats cheaply. My wife and I spent an afternoon walking the beach, with the warm sun on our face, and a few Canadian families enjoying American FREEDOM nearby (yes, I am being cheeky). There are some covered patio spaces with tables for such activities, and although they are quickly claimed, you can pretty much setup a picnic anywhere: there are plenty of logs that will serve the same purpose. I can't say what it's like during the "busy" season, but during our visit in mid-August, the atmosphere was jovial, the people were pleasant, and there were no crowds whatsoever. Lighthouse Marine Park is the perfect, quiet seaside escape for those looking for a peaceful beach in which to relax on a warm day with family and friends.

I like this park. The picnic and pavilion area has been spruced up so it looked pretty inviting…read more Visiting the park in spring is definitely better than winter. It is not as cold unless it is a windy day. So definitely bring a jacket. The walking trail round the coast is not very long and it will probably take about an hour or less for a slow stroll. There are many birds - crows and gulls. There is a lighthouse which is not a pretty building. It looks very basic and is not a tower like building. This is also the whale migration route. But I have yet to see any whales or the seals or sea lions or porpoises. So sad. I have only seen ducks bobbing along near the shoreline. When the weather is nice, this is a good place to just sit on the many benches and chill, looking at the sea. For kids, there is a "fort" made of branches and twigs. I have seen many children having fun there, climbing up to the top or adding more branches to fortify it. I also saw a group of children with their teachers or some adults with garbage bags cleaning the shore area. Kudos. But generally the place is clean, I do not see much garbage left behind.
