Tourist Attractions in San Juan Island

As you come to the town of Friday Harbor, the locals will warmly greet you be it at the dock or airport, nestled on the edge of the harbor.

It is a pleasant walking experience through the town of Harbor as you encounter a different facet of the town at every step. The main road as well as the alleys and by lanes are lined with several art galleries, boutiques and water-view restaurants.

Do not miss to take a tour of The Whale Museum, which imparts education to visitors about some of the Islands' noted residents - approximately 90 Orca whales. The San Juan Island offers its warm waters as a cozy quarter for the Orcas who typically seek refuge in San Juans from late April through the end of September, though sometimes even longer. They can be easily sighted from land, most likely from the west side of the island at Lime Kiln Point State Park, popular as "Whale Watch Park" - the only such park in the nation, or the tourists can opt to view these magnificent creatures from a commercial whale/wildlife boat.
