The San Juan Islands are accessible only by air or by boat, and most popularly by Washington State Ferry from Anacortes; guests discover there are no delays for visitors willing to leave their cars behind. Friday Harbor, a quaint seaport, rises from the ferry landing and public marina where it is an easy stroll to the docks, parks, restaurants, shops, galleries and of the many b&b's, hotels, resorts, camping and hostel choices.
Additionally, visitors can readily take a cruise, pedal a bike, hop a flight, paddle a kayak, charter a boat, catch a bus or rent a car to see Orca's in their natural habitat and to wander about the island exploring the National and State parks. Where high-rises are forgotten and sunrises are unforgettable. Where there are more lighthouses than traffic lights.
