 Sucia Island -Fox Cove
Fox cove is one of the lesser visited anchorages on Sucia Island but
it's every bit as enjoyable as the the other 5 bays and coves. Tucked away between Sucia and Little Sucia islands, Fox Cove has a sandy beach, access
to hiking trails and views of both Orcas Island &
Patos Islands.
The small ridge of land that separates
Fox Cove from
Fossil bay
is popular for camping and is a great place to walk along
the beach in the evening and watch the sun set.

Mysterious Geology Of Sucia Island
One of the most interesting things about this ridge of land is its geology and
origin. Geologists have determined that the sandstone in this area of the island is made up of two masses from very different places--
fused together right at the ridge between Fox Cove and Fossil
Bay. The mass on the west side of the ridge was once part of Baja California
while the other is
made of Chuckanut sandstone from Western Washington. Over millions of years and
through a series of earthquakes and
fault slips, the two masses of stone were fused them into one.
