The four Washington State Ferry-served islands offer four distinct personalities, each one magical in its own way.
Lopez IslandLaid-back Lopez Island (often referred to as "Slopez") is the San Juans' kind-of island. It's kind of like Orcas Island in that it has a small village yet it's kind of like Shaw Island in that it offers big-time opportunities for peace and quiet.
Orcas IslandWith the most diverse landscape, Orcas Island offers the best recreational opportunities in the San Juan Islands. Moran State Park, one of Washington's largest, is a mecca for hikers, bikers, campers, trail runners and outdoor enthusiasts of all stripes. The view from the top of Mount Constitution, ...
San Juan IslandIf it's orcas--those black-and-white sea pandas, that you want to see--head to San Juan Island. From May through September, close to 90 of these wonderful creatures ply the waters of Haro Strait, on the island's westside. There, Lime Kiln Point State Park offers opportunities galore to observe the whales ...Shaw IslandThere's quiet and then there's Shaw Island. With only one commerical operation--a general store. Shaw is the place to go if the word "relax" is written at the top of your things-to-do list.
Deer HarborHidden at the west end of Orcas Island, Deer Harbor is often missed by island visitors. It's a shame too because this sleepy harbor village boasts some of the best water views anywhere. The harbor's kayak, charter and boat rental concessions offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy that water up close. ...
EastsoundLocated smack in the middle of beautiful, horseshoe-shaped Orcas Island, Eastsound is this island's commercial center. Small town friendly in a big way, Eastsound offers restaurants, shops, and galleries, as well as the Orcas Island Historical Museum. Summers feature a Saturday Farmers Market along ...
Friday HarborLocated on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor is the largest town in the San Juan Islands. This bustling island seaport is also the only island town that's also a stop on the Washington State Ferry system. Visitors to Friday Harbor will be charmed by eclectic offerings which include a performing arts center, ...
Lopez IslandPeaceful like the island on which it's situated, Lopez Village is the island's commercial and cultural hub. Restaurants, shops and galleries beckon with their eclectic offferings. In summers, don't miss the Farmers Market, and check out the turn-of-the-century Lopez Center for Community and the Arts, ...
Shaw IslandThere's quiet and then there's Shaw Island. With only one commerical operation--a general store run by the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist--Shaw is the place to go if the word "relax" is written at the top of your things-to-do list.
