Welcome to the most beautiful place in the Pacific Northwest - the San Juan Islands! In this video, we're going to take you on a journey through the top 15 Awesome Things to do on the San Juan Islands. If you're visiting the San Juan Islands, chances are you're here to witness the majestic orcas, which is why our number one recommendation is a whale watching tour. We had an unforgettable experience with Western Prince, a small Zodiac boat that took us all the way to the Canadian border. Trust us, you don't want to miss it!
But that's not all the San Juan Islands have to offer. Our list includes hidden treasures like the stunning Cattle Point Lighthouse, where we witnessed an unforgettable sunrise and encountered wildlife such as bald eagles and foxes. Roche Harbor is another must-visit spot, known for its picturesque sunsets and charming harbor atmosphere. And speaking of sunsets, Lime Kiln State Park offers breathtaking views and the chance to spot whales from shore.
If you're looking for a unique and adorable experience, make sure to visit Crystal Acres Alpaca Farm. Feeding these cute alpacas is a must-do activity that you won't want to miss. For history enthusiasts, the English Camp and American Camp provide a glimpse into the island's past, with stories of pivotal moments and military outposts.
The San Juan Islands also offer opportunities for relaxation and enjoyment. Fourth of July Beach is perfect for a day of beachcombing, picnicking, and mesmerizing sunsets. And don't forget to visit the Pelindaba Lavender Farm during peak lavender season, july - August where you can immerse yourself in the fragrant fields and even try some delicious lavender ice cream.
Friday Harbor, the heart of the San Juan Islands, is a hub for shopping and dining, while South Beach offers a two-mile stretch of sandy shores and abundant driftwood. And for food lovers, San Juan Bakery, Spring Street Deli, Market Chef, and Downriggers are just a taste of the delectable options available.
Immerse yourself in art and nature at Sculpture Park in Roche Harbor, and finally, step into history at the McMillan Family Mausoleum, a tribute to the founders of Roche Harbor.
