cattle point

在天气好的时候开车来到这里太棒了-有一个野餐的棚子,还可以沿着小道爬上峭壁-经常看见老鹰和海鸥。

在这个“景色”清单中有两个截然不同的两个地方牛点:牛点坐落于这个岛的最南端,它是由灯塔区和旁边的牛点自然保护区共同组成的,前者属于海岸警卫队,后者属于华盛顿州自然资源保护部。这个地方地势凸凹不平,在靠近灯塔的地方可以野餐。洛佩兹岛以东景色秀美,1小时之内即可观光完毕。南沙滩/美国军营:主要入口进来之后往西北方向一英里,就是圣胡安岛国家历史公园了,它属于国家公园管理局,这个有碧绿的大草原,砾石海滨,登山路径,野餐设施,国家公园管理中心还设置了一个讲解中心,景色优美,向南看是奥林匹克山,向西看是温哥华岛屿,要想仔细观景需要几个小时的时间。这两个地方值得一去。

这里是好地方,早上能听到海狮和海豹在岩石上的声音。如果你是早起的人,在这里看日出非常棒。

Cattle Point was a beautiful area with amazing views! We enjoyed hiking along the coast and on the beach and saw some incredible wildlife- red fox, tons of bunnies and a family of bald eagles up close. There was a group of kids on a school trip exploring on the rocks at low tide near the lighthouse but otherwise we didn't see a soul in this area of the island. Very quiet and peaceful- nice place to sit and enjoy the view!!! Oh, and you may not want to rely on the restroom facilities- it didn't look like it had been serviced in awhile...we waited until our next stop;)

This tip of San Juan Island is peaceful yet thrilling in that the views are expansive, the water swift, the wildlife unspoiled (eagles, birds, fox, whales sometimes) and the prospect of many other islands and the mainland looking eastward is so peaceful. Bring a picnic to the shelter and few tables or just a book to stake out a quiet spot on the rocks. The South Beach just to the west is great too, but this is my quiet spot of choice.

Nice quiet days usually not a lot of people around nice to explore and take pictures. Be careful walking down to the beach. Enjoyed just a day me and my husband had an awesome picnic. Walking on the edge of the water watching the ducks and the one harbor seal that was watching us pretty closely. One or two people walking their dogs. This is just one of the really quiet days we had.

Amazing and totally private......noone else was on the beach! It was a beautiful day in October and not a cloud in the sky!

Cattle point is a large meadowed knoll that has a panoramic view of the southern end of the island, In the 1800s this point was the site of an army encampment at a time that Britain & the U.S. were negotiating the US/Canadian boundary treaty. There was brief but largely averted military action. A reproduction of the original fort is being constructed. Given the wonderful vistas, this is a terrific place to a stroll or hike & have a picnic lunch.

did not see any Orcas that day but cattle point was a good spot to stop and have lunch while touring the island

We drove out to Cattle Point to see the lighthouse. We walked up to it and realized it was boarded up, unused, and a little sad looking. Views were amazing though. I proposed to my girlfriend in front of this lighthouse. It may not be attractive, but we will forever love it.

We loved the views out to Cattle Point. We had views of Mt. Baker and the driftwood on South Beach. Do yourself a favor and make the drive out here. If you stay, they do ask for you to post a DIscover Pass (if you have one for your dash) or pay for parking.

Alas, the weather was overcast and foggy during our visit to Cattle Point, but it was interesting nonetheless. Save it for the afternoon, as it's obvious the views would be fantastic when the sun is out.

Gorgeous look out and a red tail fox came straight up to us. Amazing! There are picnic tables to enjoy a nice meal and beverage of your choice while the sun sets.

Cattle Point is a great place to view the Olympic Range across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to see wild foxes that prey on the overpopulation of rabbits that life in "towns" of dozens of burrows. Go down to the shore to beach comb along the longest stretch of sand on the island, and clamber over the immense piles of driftwood seeking little natural treasures and great photos.

On this new Historic Momument Site is a lighthouse that sits high on a cliff. The drive along the coast is lovely. The open fields are alive with wildlife. Worth the trip.
