From Memorial Day through Labor Day look for a clapboard sign on the beach in Active Cove letting folks know that KOPL docents are on island to open up the lighthouse for tours. You’ll find:
• Cultural, historical, and nature exhibits
• Kids activities
• a lending library of guidebooks
• mementos and lighthouse passport stamps
The lighthouse is only open when docents are available
We follow Washington State Covid-19 mask policy.

we work, play, and reside on the ancestral lands and waters of the Coast Salish people who are deeply connected to the lands of the San Juan Island National Monument and have called this place home since time immemorial. We honor inherent, aboriginal, and treaty rights that have been passed down from generation to generation.
