Jetty Island

"My family and I love this little man-made island. I have two young children and this is a great sandy beach. It's not good for swimming and there's issues with ghost shrimp and sinking sand if you go too far out but overall it is a great place to spend a few hours."

"It's a very decent sand island $3 per person by ferry, unless you have your own boat. Bring your own food and drinks and enjoy your sunbathe."

"Jetty Island is the perfect local beach getaway. The Ferry is free. Get there early to get your tickets or reserve them a couple days in advance if you have an Everett address or party of 8 or more. Sandy beach! Bring sun shade on a hot day. Bring food and water. One bathroom on the island by the dock."

"This place is awesome! I've been here several times via my kayak, alone and with my girlfriend. I haven't been to the southern half because I prefer more secluded environs, plus there always seems to be wind / kite surfers on the southern end. Saw plenty of wildlife including a seal which I was thrilled to see! Relatively clean, but we need your help to keep it clean! This place is really refreshing and it heals your spirit."

"What a great place. The little ferry can get pretty crowded so I'd suggest getting down there early. We went on a thursday and the return ferry's filled up quickly too. The beach at the place where you land can get pretty crowded. We walked all the way north to the northern tip. After a short walk north there was nobody all the way to the top of the island. Be careful with bare feet as the further north you were there was more debris like broken glass. Likely washed up from the river. The best looking beach was at the far north. I'd also be wary of the tide if you go to the top of the island as there is a small crossing that we had to make. This was during low tide."
