Stepping down to the water on rocks covered in bright ochre lichen, I could see countless neon orange and purple starfish lying together in the clear water.
Madrona point is a Lummi Nation burial site that is located five minutes outside of Eastsound on Orcas Island. It is currently closed to public access. It is known as Madrona point because of the abundance of Madrona Street sprouting from the rocky shoreline. Please respect the Lummi Nation's wishes and do not enter the grounds.
