Reuben Tarte Park on the Northeast side of the island offers two small pebbly beaches separated by a rock bluff. The park looks out at Saturna, Flattop, Waldron, Sucia and Orcas Islands.

To get there take Roche Harbor Road from town, turn right on Rouleau Road, turn right on Limestone Point Road, right on San Juan Drive and watch for the “Beach Access” sign at the parking turn-out on the left.

If the gate is open you can drive down to the beach to unload and then park back up at the top.
