Bowman and Lottie Bays are both small, protected coves just north of the turbulent waters of Deception Pass. They offer placid paddling between the rocky and windswept expanses of Rosario Head and Lighthouse Point. If you are comfortable with the possibility of a stronger current, it's worthwhile to paddle around Lighthouse Point, viewing its many rocky nooks en route to Lottie Bay. Staying close to the shore will likely keep you out of the current. Otherwise, paddle to the north side of Lighthouse Point and portage across the tombolo connecting it to Fidalgo Island.
