About This Access Site
Dockside Park in Blaine offers saltwater boat access to the Strait of Georgia, making it a convenient launch point for kayakers, canoeists, and motorized boaters exploring the waters between Washington and British Columbia. Located at the coordinates 48.93537328, -122.78503354, this facility provides a boat ramp suitable for a variety of watercraft. The Strait of Georgia is a dynamic saltwater environment, so paddlers should be prepared for tidal currents, wind exposure, and marine traffic conditions typical of this major waterway.

Before launching, check local boating regulations and any current restrictions, as boating rules on marine areas are established by local ordinance rather than state agencies. A Discover Pass may be required for access to the park. Paddlers should verify current conditions, tide tables, and weather forecasts before heading out, as the Strait of Georgia can experience significant tidal exchanges and variable marine conditions. This location is ideal for those with experience in saltwater paddling or boating.
