Visitors of the San Juan Islands are often drawn there by the ocean. The waves of Puget Sound surround the islands, creating a peaceful and idyllic setting to relax and enjoy the natural world around you. The opportunity to wake up in the morning and experience the sight of the sea out your open window is unmatched, which is why waterfront lodging is a popular choice when choosing where to stay on Orcas Island.
Many properties have beach access, allowing visitors to not only take in the ocean from their rental, but experience it first hand down on the beach. With Puget Sound being full of unique marine life due to it’s diverse ecosystem, visitors are often able to see majestic pods of Orca whales or harbor seals swimming nearby. It’s difficult to find a more tranquil option than a home by the sea on Orcas Island.
