Park Overview
Copalis Refuge consists of a portion of 870 islands, rocks and
reefs extending for more than 100 miles along Washingtons Pacific coast from Cape Flattery to Copalis Beach. These islands are protected from human disturbance, yet are close to abundant ocean food sources.
They are a vital sanctuary where 14 species of seabirds nest and raise their young. During migration the total populations of seabirds, waterfowl and
shorebirds may exceed a million birds. Sea lions, harbor seals, sea otters and
whales may also be seen around the islands. Most of the coastal islands are designated as wilderness.
