	Zuanich Point Park Tip Rating:

Safe return memorial

This place is a good starting point for your visit to Bellingham. The park is at the main harbor, and there is plenty of parking & also stores & restaurants to look at. But the main reason to visit the park is to get a nice view of Bellingham, the adjacent mountains & the Puget Sound & San Juan Islands.

Make sure you bring a coat because it's often freezing cold from a stiff breeze that blows in. There's not much else to see except for the boats & a memorial to fishermen that have been lost. This place was a huge fishing town, & fishing is still a major industry here.

Here's a website for the "Safe Return" fisherman's memorial:

During the summer, the park is a nice place to play frisbee or just hang out.

Address: Squalicum Harbor Rd.

Directions: See website below.
