We were up visiting family last week and they took us up to the park. On the way up we saw 4 buck deer and their does feeding on neighborhood lawns. They walked right by our car while we were stopped and watching them.Well worth the time to visit.

Our friend is a local and he suggests this spot to go and we just loved it!What a beautiful place. You can see the port and the town from there.

Sunset was beautiful, seen several deer on the way up the hill. 15 min walk up the hill to this beautiful sight, all around.

I love this place, as a fan of boats you get such a variety of vessels from here and if you hike around the rocks a bit you can get some cool views of the sound

It was thickly forested park with a high point having a space to park about 25 to 30 cars. A beautiful viewpoint with a board displaying 1925 photograph of Hidalgo bay and itsa history. It connects you to the place. You can see the islands, factories and a grand scenic view al around. Have to be careful while walking due to rocky outcrops.

Its very relaxing. Secluded area & you get a wonderful view.

Sweeping views of the marina and waterway up high in Anacortes. There are some good flat rock formations to climb on and take some fun pictures. Be careful driving up as you go through the neighborhood since there are many deer that can cross your way.

We had 45 min to spare so we decided to stop by and was pleasantly surprised on this viewpoint can be relaxing. Bring coffee and snack its a nice quiet afternoon ( when we visited) .

Best view in the whole city.

We love going here for sunset one of our favorite places!

Awesome as usual. Busy but very nice. Took daughters boyfriend whos never been to Washington up there and then out to Deception Pass.

Bring some snacks, put your sunscreen on, and enjoy the view ️

A beautiful place with beautiful views.

Gorgeous view! No need for hiking. Parking at the top.

Quick hike or walk up and the view is breathtaking. The sun sets just beyond the islands and there are plenty of places to sit and relax. The family of deer is friendly and is just a bonus.

Beautiful lookout over cap sante marina and the refinery.

The views are absolutely amazing. Great benches to sit on and just enjoy the beauty.

Such a beautiful view of Anacortes. We love visiting here regularly

Its so beautiful and you can relax and enjoy the rest of your day.

Beautiful views! Wear proper shoes so that you can experience it fully.

What a view, definitely a must if in the area just breathtaking. So peaceful.

Simple. WONDERFUL! A must see at sunset or maybe even sunrise with a fresh thermos of amazing local coffee! Be brave and climb to the very top of the rock formation to the right of the parking lot. You wont go wrong.

Beautiful sunset watching from the Cap Sante Lookout. You can hike from the main trail from the marina than cut through the small forest and follow the trail to the top to get amazing view of the marina and City of Anacortes. Also you can drive all the way to the top for sunset viewing.

Really neat little hideout spot. There are plenty of rocks to crawl and hide behind, with amazing views all around.

What a beautiful view!

Loved the view from this lookout point. A must see, especially at sunset.

Amazing views. Worth stopping by

Beautiful views!! Perfect place for a picnic.

Cap Sante is a great scenic road trip or place to picnic with spectacular views of the water and islands. The road gets narrow and windy so its a leisurely drive with several places to stop and enjoy the view.

This is a beautiful lookout on Fidalgo Bay and deserves 5 stars. However there are a couple of downsides. Grafitti on the rock outcroppings, the best views require a bit of climbing, and there was a fair amount of broken glass and garbage.

Great view point ~

Great views of the marina/town. Also lots of lines for an Rc crawling enthusiast to murder or be murdered on.

I enjoyed this park quite a bit! Great views of the San Juans, Cascades, downtown, the marina, the oil refinery, and Seafarers Memorial Park. A very peaceful place, and it was very relaxing watching all the boats go by in the bright blue water below.

Great birdeye viewpoint over the whole arbor.

Kool drive.....

Beautiful spot to enjoy views of Anacortes and the neighboring islands.

Nice vantage point. Parking spots are limited to 10 cars according to signs posted.

Cozy Little mountain top view, easy access, clean area, family oriented but may not be best area for family hiking... Edges.

Very pretty overlook of Anacortes and boat traffic to refineries (if you are not put off by the oil thing). Worth a day trip as there are several other walks in the area.

Beautiful view and scenery. Nice little hike.

Great look out over Anacortes, absolutely Stunning sunsets!!!

Always a good day at Cap Sante but it was too busy for my liking.

We accidentally came across this place while on the way to Washington Park and its BEAUTIFUL... it was quiet and pleasant with a great view..a cloudy day made it even better..

Itt definitely a nice place to see the sunset! Its not super busy mid-day but can be quite crowded at sunset. Theres plenty of space so its still quite nice when it does get busy.

A must visit attraction, Google describes it best: 37-acre wooded parkland offering hiking trails, wildlife & elevated vistas of the marina. I explored around on a sunny afternoon & loved the views.

Great scenery, cozy, majestic, and if you climb down towards the water its a great place for making out or cracking open a bottle of wine with cheese and crackers and or some meat

Only 10 cars are allowed to park in the lot. Beautiful view.

Best place for an easy hike with your pup in Anacortes!

Its so beautiful here.

Impressively peaceful views. Couple benches are available. Rocky area, not advisable for kids to run around. More like a quiet place to contemplate. Stop here after your whale trip.

Awesome panoramic view of downtown Anacortes and the surrounding bay

Great vantage point right next to the parking area. Bring some food and enjoy the view!

Absolutely gorgeous view from this park, can see multiple islands in the sound. No hike required, just drive on up.

Beautiful place to come see. love the views from here

Lovely place to spend some me time!

The view of Anacortes is great from over the marina. Awesome views of Mount Baker with clear weather. Added bonus, take a short 7 minute hike to an abandoned amphitheater over the water. Park on top, walk down the road and take the trail right by the speed limit sign.

Fantastic view and drive in a car on pavement a short distance from town

Nice little stop beautiful views

Cool cliff formation and beautiful place to take pictures

Enjoy the beautiful views of Anacortes, the Cascade Mountains and the San Juan Islands all in one place. Its a short drive from town to this 37 acre wooded park.Parking isnt plentiful at the top and can be crowded on sunny weekends, however it is possible to park along the road on those busy days.Pay attention, use caution while driving to the parking area, there are often many deer along the road and they can become unpredictable.

Fantastic viewpoint and park, ideal for a picnic. Currently limited to 10 cars at a time due to COVID-19.

Beautiful view!

Some beautifully views of the ocean and mountains.

Only a short drive from the downtown, and you can see the beautiful Anacortes and overlooking of some San Juan islands.

Beautiful scenic look out, but often 40 year old boys playing with their remote control Tonka toy trucks which is really annoying when you want peace and solitude!

Theyre beautiful trails that you can follow after you park. They lead you up onto little ledges and you can climb to the top of the peak. It is such a gorgeous spot to look out at both Anacortes and the San Juans!

Great look out spot great for Rc rovk crawling

Beautiful vantage point. Some benches for seating, but I recommend picnicking on the rocks. Great, quick place to bring visitors!

Drive in and check out the great view!

Amazing panoramas

One of my favorite spots. Sunny days there are usually way too many cars there though.

Beautiful view from Anacortes.

Awesome terrain with some amazing views of the area.

Great view beautiful Town

If you’re driving nearby, I strongly recommend a quick stop here. You can drive up and get an amazing view of the surrounding areas(even including a clear look at Mt. Baker on a clear day)

Awesome view!

Small lookout with superb views of Anacortes and the surrounding seascape.

Gorgeous hidden overlook of Anacortes with cool rocks to enjoy and relax

Such a beautiful spot I wish I would have brought my actual camera for some photos

Fantastic peak lookout! Day or night. Worth the drive off 5 fwy

Theres a really nice, wide paved walkway that ends with a view of the water. There are stairs that allow access to the shoreline, but it is a fairly narrow swath of land, especially at high tide.Dog walking is encouraged for on leash dogs. Owners are asked to clean up after their pets. Poop bags are usually available and there are garbage cans along the trail for responsible pet owners. There are still a handful of inconsiderate dog owners, but overall its pretty clean in the grass areas along the path.

Sweet vantage point above Anacortes.

Its a nice place to just look out on the bay and catch your breath.

Beautiful stunning views and one of the best places to relax and have a picnic. Normally not to busy and everyone is very relaxed.

Views are great

Beautiful Views of Anacortes

Beautiful views.

My favorite place to relax and reflect

Great place to view sunrise and sunsets. Portable potty on location.

Such a beautiful park over looking the water. You can see boats and wild life from up there. Its breath taking views are what keep us visiting.

Beautiful view

Monday morning not alot of people, cold, nice and quiet, seen 2 deer in the area, beautiful views

Beautiful place to come and check out the surrounding areas and Anacortes to your right.. Everyone looks like tiny lil ants! Lol theres quite a few places that are MUCH higher than the parking area and if youre athletic enough, its worth the struggle to get up the rock. Im sure its not recommended to climb up it when its wet lol but this is a great old skool make out point to bring that lovely girl lol just be aware of your surroundings it seems like you could fall off with one small misstep

Great views! Beautiful! I could spend all day here!!

It’s beautiful and you hardly have to walk at all to see the breathtaking view of all of Anacortes! Highly recommend!

Beautiful. Wonderful place for a romantic picnic. Quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful view...

To many town hooligans throwing around racial slurs to be enjoyable. Other then that great place to watch the sunset

Great place

Beautiful view. Drive to the top & theres boulders to step onto & you can see water views all around. You can see the town of Anacortes and the boats. Bonus : watch the sunset.
