Cutts Island State Park

Cutts Island State Park occupies the entire two-acre Cutts Island in Carr Inlet, Washington, about half a mile offshore from Kopachuck State Park. Usually reached only by water, it can sometimes be accessed by sandbar at extremely low tide. The island is notable for its clay butte, stand of trees, and teardrop-shaped beach exposed at low tide, as well as sheltered shoreline used for beachcombing and scuba diving. Its history is reflected in earlier names: Crow Island, given by Peter Puget in 1792 for its many crows; Scotts Island, after Thomas Scott of the 1841 Wilkes Expedition; and Deadman's Island, tied to a Native burial tradition.
