Island Dining
Grab a hearty + tasty breakfast/brunch and it's nice to dine outside on the patio on sunny days. Casual is the name of the game, but you won't be disappointed by the taste or the portions. I am thrilled that they offer Gluten Free options at the Cafe - and that doens't only mean a meat option. They offer GF bread and can accommadate special diet requests - we also have a vegetarian in our family. The Cafe also does a good job with their espresso drinks. Whipped cream anyone?

Sightseeing
Anderson Island Historical Society
9306 Otso Point RdCharming site and museum.
The partially looped 1-mile trail winds through a heavily wooded area with many native plants and trees. It includes enormous Douglas firs, features gorgeous views, and ends at a beautiful tidal inlet that is a salmon nursery area and offers you 3/4 mile of public beach with driftwood, shells, rocks, and aquatic life.
The main trail is well-established, with stairs in steeper parts, and is hikable year-round. The short Old Growth loop has many of the biggest trees in the park, but is also a little steeper and less easily traversed in wet months. While this park has shorter trails, they do have a decent amount of up/down, which might be a deterrent for some.
CAUTION - Poison oak grows within touching distance of the trail and near the stairs down to the beach.

Pierce County Ferry Tickets
Ferry tickets are not scheduled/sold by date or time and a return ticket is not necessary - ONLY when coming to the island. It is first come first served and there will be lines over a weekend, long on a holiday weekend. It is easier to have tickets ahead of time, but they can be purchased at the terminal, not from your car.
Tickets are for the car (which includes the driver) and then passengers and children, by age.

Что взять с собой
Off-Leash Dog Park
Good size park with plenty of space for dogs of all sizes to run around. It will be muddy and soggy after rain and in winter, be sure to pack boots. There is a covered bench for humans to sit as well. Short drive from the house.
