Located in Puget Sound, Maury Island is a fairly small island connected to Vashon Island by a narrow strip of man-made land. The island is mostly rural and is largely made up of farmland, shoreline, and forest. The historic Point Robinson lighthouse is located on the easternmost point of the island.
Maury Island is also home to both the 320-acre Maury Island Marine Park and the Maury Island Natural Area, a 275-acre park that includes almost one mile of undeveloped shoreline. To get to the island from Seattle, visitors must take a short ferry ride.
