Sunset from False Bay [Explore]

Aptly named, this cove along the southwestern shore of San Juan Island would appear to be a great anchorage at high-tide. But, at low tide, with shallow pools and deep mud, this would be a nightmare for mariners.

 

Now part of a Marine Preserve, False Bay encapsulates a vast amount of biodiversity in its silt, tide pools and eelgrass beds. Of course, the view across Haro Strait and the Strait of Juan de Fuca toward the Olympic mountains is unparalleled.

 

Congrats on Explore!
