5 Things to Do on Camano Island
Camano Island is a beautiful Island destination with a small-town feel that doesn’t require a ferry ride like many people think. We’re actually just a quick drive off of I5, through the city of Stanwood and over a bridge. Whether you live on Camano, you’re moving to the Island, or you’re visiting for a day-trip or weekend getaway, here are a few places to visit and things to do while you’re on Camano Island.
Eat, Gather & Shop at Terry’s Corner
It may not look like much when you’re driving past, but Terry’s corner is the community gathering place on the Island. It’s located right off of Highway 532 and is home to the Camano Commons Marketplace, Camano Island Coffee Roasters, Tapped Camano, The Baked Cafe, Primal Barbeque, Movement Arts, and our indoor plant store, Cactus + Co. You can grab a bite to eat, coffee, baked goods, locally made art, and shop for indoor house plants while you’re here. You can also take a yoga class, get a massage, or visit the chiropractor. The yoga studio offers free outdoor classes on Fridays in the Summer with a donation for the local food bank, and you’ll often find markets and events happening here throughout the Spring and Summer time. With a grass courtyard in the center of the complex, it’s a perfect place to bring pets or kids to explore and visit the local library. There are plenty of photo opportunities, and the complex is within walking distance of Freedom Park, which has a playground, grass to run around in & local art to look at.
Spend Time in Nature at Iverson Spit Preserve
Iverson is one of our favorite local beaches because of it’s hidden Hobbit Trail that’s filled with garden gnomes and fairies. It’s quite magical. Iverson has beach access and walking trails through a nature preserve, and it doesn’t require a Discover Pass for parking.
