Photo of Obstruction Pass State Park

Obstruction Pass State Park is one of the few locations on Orcas Island with public beach access. The park is a popular destination for wildlife viewing and beach exploration. Cormorants, robins, swallows, sparrows, chitons, sea cucumbers and gunnels are common sights at the park and the area is rich in local plantlife, including oceanspray and salal. Moran State Park is just north of Obstruction Pass.
