san juan island.
Enjoy the seductive vistas, miles of saltwater shore and even a few orca sightings. Exploring the San Juan Islands should be at the top of everyone’s bucket list. Dramatic and breathtaking, the San Juans were listed as No. 2 in the “41 Places To Go in 2011” by The New York Times. Friday Harbor, where the ferry lands, is a walker’s town. With art galleries, shops, museums and restaurants, there’s plenty to see. B&Bs and other lodgings make it easy to spend a night or two. To get around the island (if you didn’t bring a car or bike), you can either take public transportation or rent a scooter or bike. Roche Harbor has a bay full of yachts as well as the historic Hotel de Haro, which dates to 1886. After a delicious meal, tour the 19-acre San Juan Islands Museum of Art and Sculpture Park. On the west side of the island, visit Lime Kiln Point State Park, a 36-acre park where you can view spectacular sunsets and catch a glimpse of the orcas that summer in Haro Straight. Tours of the lighthouse are offered on Saturdays throughout the summer. For more info, visit sanjuanisland.org. Things to do on San Juan Island: Rent a moped or scootcoupe from Susie’s Mopeds and explore the island. Glide through the trees on a zip lining tour with Zip San Juan. Visit the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor and learn about the resident pod of orcas.
