Cutts Island Marine State Park

Gig Harbor, WA 98335

Cutts Island State Park is proof that good things come in small packages. Only reachable by boat, this intriguing little island offers the perfect day at the beach.

Rules

  • Dogs Allowed on Leash
  • Fires not Allowed
  • Horses not Allowed
  • Boat-in Only

No overnight camping. 

There is no potable water or restrooms on this island. 

Do not disturb marine mammals. During seal pup season, pups will rest on the beach during low tide. Federal law prohibits touching, feeding and disturbing marine mammals, so visitors including dogs, are required to stay at least 100 yards from seals and their pups.

Pack it in, pack it out. Trash receptacles are not available, all trash must be packed out.
