Jetty Island

Jetty Island is a mere five-minute ferry ride from the Everett shoreline and features one of the very best beaches in Puget Sound. With 2 miles of sand abutting shallow, warm water, Jetty is a summer must, especially during low-tide days. Reserve your spot on the ferry and don’t forget to bring snacks plus a beach umbrella for additional sun protection.
