Camano Island Wa.  Welcome to beautiful Camano Island, the Island you can drive to. With over 56 miles of pristine beaches, boating, salmon fishing clamming and crabbing are bountiful on Camano Island. The unique appeal of Camano Island is that it offers visitors a real-life island experience- without the hype. Come enjoy one of the Northwest's best kept secrets. From thousands of acres of unspoiled hills to miles of uncrowded Puget Sound shoreline, from the raccoons and deer populating stately evergreen forests to bald eagles and blue herons along the beach.  Not to mention two State Parks within a mile of each other: Camano Island State Park & the brand new Cama Beach State Park. And it's all easily accessible by bridge--no waiting for ferries here!  As you first come onto the island, you will see our  tourist information center, the Camano Gateway. Located by the picnic area, it will provide you with information on Camano's parks and recreation sites, local businesses, and other interesting information about the island. As you begin to explore the landscaping of the information center, you will notice the many pieces of original art decorating the area. These are all pieces created by our renowned local artists; each piece represents an aspect of Camano's assets and natural beauty.
