Orcas Island is Beautiful!
Orcas Island, part of the San Juan Islands, is a beautiful Northwest setting with land and sea activities for the outdoor enthusiast. Orcas Island is peaceful, un-crowded, and a quiet destination for local, out-of-state, and out-of-country travelers who voyage by car, boat, or plane.
Orcas Island has hiking on Turtleback Mountain trails and at Moran State Park with lakes and parks for barbecuing and swimming. The kayaking is superb with guided tours and recreational kayaking available. Sailing and boating are extremely popular in the summer with classes offered by the Yacht Club and and sailboat races in West Sound. You can see bicycle tours and individuals of all ages bicycling the winding roads of Orcas and the other islands. The Orcas Golf Course is open all summer. Whale watching is a popular and exciting activity for the whole family.
Pictures taken from the new Turtleback Mountain Trail. The trail is fairly steep, but the views are magnificent!
The graceful rolling pastures of several hundred-acre farms are a joy to see. The nights are incredible, especially when the full moon is out. The full moon and the starry nights bring back childhood dreams of immense beauty and awe.
The islands are also known for the creative arts.
Many musicians, artists, potters, and writers like to live and work here. There
is support for the performing and visual arts. As one recent arrival said,
"There is a great sense of community here." There is also protection of the
environment. The wildlife is abundant: deer, rabbits, whales, seals, and a
variety of wonderful birds.
The San Juan Preservation Trust and the
SeaDoc Society are two of the many
organizations dedicated to preserving the beauty and wildlife of Orcas Island.
Visitors are welcome to enjoy the history, recreation, and beauty on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands!
