Located 9.1 miles south of Friday Harbor, Cattle Point offers visitors great scenery and spectacular walks. It's a peaceful kind of place the invites you to bring a picnic basket and a blanket.

As we departed Cattle Point, on the way back to Friday Harbor, Laura and I stopped by South Beach. Located new Cattle Point Light House, the beach has an amazing collection of driftwood.
