The unique beauty and sunny weather of Washington’s San Juan Islands have been famous for generations
Three groups of orca whales call the islands home during the year, chasing the salmon that migrate through. Eagles perch in shore-side trees, and a variety of seabirds cruise the bays and channels, diving for fish. Protected parkland abounds with several islands devoted entirely to the marine explorer. A large variety of trails provide great opportunities for discovery. A sunny overlook, a hidden cove, a quaint one-room schoolhouse, or an abandoned lighthouse are among the myriad treasures to be found. Local artist galleries, restaurants, and elegant resorts with spas lend variety to the bigger islands.
Myriad peaceful coves, madrona-clad sandstone bluffs, and mossy woodland trails invite adventurers. As in the San Juans, many sandy beaches lay thickly fringed with white shells; the telltale evidence of ancient village sites of the seafood-eating Coast Salish people. Relax with us in a protected anchorage while one of the famous sunsets caps another memorable day.

The San Juan Islands, located off the coast of Washington state in the Pacific Northwest, is a haven for wildlife watchers. Humpbacks, orcas, porpoises, and far too many seabirds to mention abound. Eagles perch in shore-side trees waiting for the moment to dive into the water for their next meal. Further north into the Inside Passage, grizzly, black bears, Kermode (spirit) bears, and occasionally wolves rule the lush, dense temperate rainforest. With a variety of habitats, including forests, beaches, and rocky shorelines, these islands offer plenty of opportunities to observe a diverse array of animals in their natural habitats
