Visitors fly kites at Jetty Island off of Everett, on Wednesday, Aug. 7. Boat service to the Jetty runs until Labor Day.
The jetty is a two-mile, man-made island which nature has enveloped. Its shallow waters are warm enough to swim in. Check a tide chart for the best times for beach play. Advanced reservations are required to ride the ferry. Reservations can be made at www.visiteverett.com/jetty The ferry costs $3 to $5 per person; children aged 2 and under are free. The boat to Jetty Island docks at the 10th Street Boat Launch, which is off of West Marine View Drive. Parking at the boat launch costs money. There’s the option to pre-pay for parking for $2 (plus taxes and fees). Visitor parking is available at Jetty Landing Park, first come, first served. Come prepared as there is no running water or snack shops on the island. There’s no real shade, either.
