San Juan Islands Beach Vacations
Orcas, kayaks and island time.
A ferry-linked archipelago of quiet islands, orca whales, sea kayaking, lavender farms and farm-to-table dinners.
Overview
Why San Juan Islands.
The San Juans are Pacific Northwest island life: ferries between Friday Harbor, Orcas and Lopez, kayaking alongside resident orcas, cycling past farms and lavender fields, and dinners built on what the island grew that day. It is calm, green and unhurried, and July through September is the sweet spot.
