Welcome to the San Juan Islands |
 |
Arriving by ferry into Friday Harbor.
What I like most is the solitude, something that's not always easy to find in this very busy world. The forests and beaches are pretty great, too, along with so many other things, as you will soon discover.
Here is the nutshell version: San Juan Island is more than 55 square miles of beaches and forests, home to Red Tailed hawks and Orca whales. The town of Friday Harbor has awesome gift shops, a movie theatre, three museums, three book stores, a bowling alley, and neither "Fast Food" nor traffic lights. We do have stunning picnic spots, walking and hiking trails, breathtaking view points, and a variety of scenic drives for sightseers. And Oh! you have got to see the night sky from San Juan Island Washington for yourself. The stars are brighter than belief!
You won't have a boring moment during your stay in the San Juan Islands Washington, and keep in mind that your accommodations are a very important part of your vacation. There are timeshare rentals and resales available throughout the islands in all price points and sizes, so you'll definitely find the perfect lodgings for you and your traveling companions in this Northwestern island wilderness!
So, have a look around, see what sparks your interest. I'll guide you through the beaches, parks, trails, and restaurants of San Juan Island, and offer practical ideas and helpful advice for enjoying a great Island visit. Come to San Juan Island, a slower pace amidst the sometimes craziness of mainland life. If you want a break, this is one place to look.
