Long Island (North, not Willapa park) is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in San Juan County, WA. The maximum depth is 81-90ft/25-27m.
One of the best wall dives in the Pacific Northwest is found on its south side. Its steep, current washed slopes are covered with strawberry anemones, sponge, barnacles and invertebrate life of every hue. Overhangs and a cave are found deeper.
Nearby Whale Rocks, or the south side of Iceberg Point, offer boulder-strewn terrain for a second dive.
From The Perfect Dive; Go to the west along the face of the rock until the small point and drop in just east of the point. The current almost always goes east here. There is usually a pirate flag flying on a flag pole above the dive site. Do not use the dock, it is private.
