Sail and Seal Rocks rise from the seascape where Snow Creek enters the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This rich and productive marine habitat attracts fishermen, divers, kayakers, and whales. It is one of the best places along the Strait to see gray whales close to shore as they feed in the shallow, sloping bay, with heart-shaped blows near the sea stacks. Wolf eels, lingcod, and octopuses thrive in the boulders and kelp. East of here, the wreck of the steamship Andalusia forms an artificial reef that is home to dozens of species. To the west, the Strait transitions to the Pacific Ocean and Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary, which teems with marine mammals, seabirds, fishes, and other sea life. The Whale Trail is a series of sites around the region where orcas and other whales or marine mammals may be viewed from shore.
