Sleepy and secluded Friday Harbor is a tiny town with big personality and rich history. Small enough to walk from one end to the other, the coastal fishing village is dotted with picturesque turn of the century wood frame houses, historic storefronts, Coast Salish native carvings and not a stoplight in sight. Stroll through the Historic District, visit informative museums, explore the Port of Friday Harbor waterfront park and see the local populations of orcas and whales from the shore.

Visit the Interpretive Center while you are at Lime Kiln Point State Park. Come learn about the orca whales that frequent our shores, the historic lime kilns & lighthouse that are in Lime Kiln Point State Park. The Interpretive Center staffed by Friends of Lime Kiln Society (FOLKS) volunteers and all donations support the Center and other FOLKS programs & projects in Lime Kiln Point State Park. There is also a small gift shop in the Interpretive Center.
Such a gorgeous spot to hike around or just sit on the rocks or benches and enjoy the scenery. And, it you're lucky - you'll see some orcas swim by. Everytime we visit San Juan Island - this is one of the first places we go - something very special and enchanting about Lime Kiln Point.

We were on mopeds and visited English GaRden en route around the garden. I loved the site -how beautiful! Lively little bay and hood historical markets. Worth the turn off from scenic route -no park fee

The best part about American Camp is the beaches and coves on the south side of the park. South Beach is the longest public access beach in the islands and Grandma's Cove is an interesting little stretch of beach as well. Trails lead all the way to Cattle Point with a view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca most of the way. Foxes, deer, and eagles can be seen while hiking the trails. We hiked the trails in the rain and it was still beautiful. The visitor's center was closed for the season and outhouses were locked, but it was still a great place to visit.

Each time I've visited the mausoleum I've been astounded by its peaceful setting and the symbolism built into the memorial. Everything from the broken column, number of steps, placement of chairs, is full of meaning that is well documented on the Internet (see Wiki). The short walk is enjoyable and often the memorial is not crowded. I visited off season and didn't see anyone else either on the trail or at the memorial. It made for a very tranquil experience.
