Another island that can only be accessed by boat, Matia Island Marine State Park is home to dense foliage and black licorice slugs. The 20,000+ feet of shoreline on Matia Island overlooks the Strait of Georgia. This Island, though it offers campgrounds, is unique since the rest of the island is restricted for conservation. Those who do visit the open beaches or campgrounds can saltwater fish, dive, boat, or go crabbing or clamming. This island has strict guidelines for gas stove usage and bringing things in and out of the park. Open fires and pets are not permitted anywhere on the island, even in campgrounds.
