There is a wealth of good reasons why travelers of all stripes recommend spending days on and around San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, and Shaw. These four islands offer the very best of the Salish Sea when it comes to natural attractions, outdoor activities, wildlife watching, and the pleasures of port: dining, shopping, and culture.
However, there’s much more to see around the San Juan Islands than these four main destinations. If you’re planning a boat charter around the archipelago, why not make the most out of your trip and explore its farther reaches?
