Fox Island is a beautiful, residential island only minutes from downtown Gig Harbor but very much its own community. Islanders are very community minded, and friendly. The Fox Island wave is the greeting you'll get from residents if you drive around this small island. A few businesses can be found on Fox Island, but mostly it is home to wonderful people and wildlife. The Fox Island Fishing Pier is a great stop on your drive and don't miss a visit to Chapel on Echo Bay for one of their concerts.
