The island is managed by the Washington Department of Natural Resources.

Strawberry Island has long been popular with kayakers. In 2010, due to budget cuts, the Department of Natural Resources prohibited overnight camping.

George Vancouver named Strawberry Bay and Cypress Island in 1792, but left this island nameless. It was named "Hautboy Island" by the Wilkes Expedition of 1838–1842 after the hautboy strawberries found growing on the island.
