Filucy Bay is a complex of two small beach systems and three coastal inlets (drowned stream valleys) on the southeast shore of the Key Peninsula near the village of Longbranch in South Puget Sound, and includes three Inlet Process Units in the south (IPU 64), west (IPU 70}, and north of the bay (IPU 74).

Notes

• The Drayton, Balch and Pitt Passage area was identified by Cereghino et al 2012 as one of a few areas in South Puget Sound with a relatively high concentration of lightly degraded shoreline, possibly serving as a nearshore habitat 'island'.
