Island hop to a hidden gem in Washington State, The San Juans! 🌊🏞️
You can island hop to this hidden gem destination in Washington State.
📍San Juan Islands Washington State
There are three main islands to visit in the San Juan’s and here is how I would spend my time if I had 4 days.
Day 1: From Seattle drive to Anacortes and take the Ferry to San Juan Island and stay in Friday Harbor at the Cannery Inn a nice sea view vacation rental right in town.
Explore the town of Friday Harbour, check out the whale museum, do some shopping and dining.
Day 2: Take a full day driving the island. Take a visit to the beaches, meadows and lighthouse in San Juan National Historic Park where you can often spot Eagle, Fox, rabbit and deer.
Look for orcas off the coast from the San Juan County park and walk up the stairs at the Lime Kiln Lighthouse for some great views.
End the day with a scenic sunset kayak tour with @discovery_sea_kayaks
Day 3: Take the morning ferry from Friday Harbour to Orcas island.
Take a morning hike in the Turtle Back MTN Reserve, then stop by @orcasislandpottery, an afternoon wine tasting at @orcasislandwinery and a light lunch at the New Leaf Cafe @outlookinn_orcas.
Take the scenic drive up Mt Constitution and take in the great views from the top of the observation tower where you can see Mt Baker and the Cascades.
Grab dinner at @matia_kitchen for some amazing farm to table cuisine.
Day 4: If you have time explore more of the island or head to Lopez island for some biking and more wildlife viewing. For those on a tight schedule hop back on the ferry and return to Anacortes.
