Obstruction Pass State Park in Olga, Washington, offers one of the few public beaches on Orcas Island, featuring pebbly shores, madrone forests, and sweeping water views. Spanning 76 acres, this secluded park attracts visitors with its tranquil vibe and diverse recreational opportunities. As part of the San Juan Islands, it provides a prime spot for kayaking, beachcombing, and wildlife watching, with campsites nestled in wooded areas above the shoreline.

User reviews highlight its peaceful atmosphere and accessibility for day hikes, while seasonal wildflowers and viewpoints add to its charm. The park’s location on the island’s eastern edge makes it a favorite for both boaters and hikers seeking a less crowded coastal experience.

Nearby dining options include The Madrona Bar & Grill, a waterfront spot in Eastsound serving steaks and seafood with deck seating. Matia Kitchen offers upscale farm-to-table dinners in a cozy, romantic setting. For casual fare, Island Skillet provides breakfast classics and wraps. Lascaux Café in Olga is a locally loved spot for coffee and light bites. Doe Bay Café features organic dishes and live music in a rustic retreat setting.

Doe Bay Resort & Retreat offers bayside cabins and yoga classes. Roche Harbor Resort in Friday Harbor provides luxe waterfront accommodations and gardens. Rosario Village combines a spa with historic mansion stays. Blackberry Beach Cabins in Olga feature secluded, modern lodging. West Beach Resort offers rustic cabins and marina access near Eastsound.

The park provides basic amenities, including picnic tables, fire pits, and vault restrooms. No potable water is available, requiring visitors to pack in supplies. Mooring buoys and a boat launch cater to boaters, while first-come-first-served campsites include primitive toilets. A network of trails connects the parking area to the beach and campgrounds.

Beachcombing, kayaking, and winter camping are popular here. The park is part of the Cascadia Marine Trail, offering designated campsites for paddlers. Fishing and shellfish harvesting require state licenses, while birdwatching and hiking trails provide year-round recreation. Swimming in the calm, opal-hued waters is a seasonal highlight.

The main trail to the beach is unpaved and moderately sloped, posing challenges for wheelchairs. Accessible parking and vault restrooms are available at the trailhead, but no beach ramps exist. Campsites require traversing uneven terrain.

A gravel parking lot near the trailhead accommodates day-use visitors, with no fees required. Overnight campers must park here and hike 0.6 miles to the shoreline campsites. Limited spaces emphasize early arrival during peak seasons.

Madrone trees, with their distinctive peeling red bark, dominate the park’s forests. The beach’s pebbles are polished smooth by tidal action, creating a unique shoreline texture. The park’s buoys serve as critical stops for kayakers traversing the Salish Sea.

Nearby Moran State Park features hiking trails and Cascade Lake. Doe Bay’s thermal springs and Buck Bay Shellfish Farm offer unique local experiences. The quirky village of Olga, a short drive away, adds cultural charm to the area.
