Lime Kiln Point is considered one of the best whale-watching spots on earth. The pods, which also include humpback and minke whales, pass through the area every April through September, with peak times depending on salmon runs. Visitors can see the action from a 1919-vintage lighthouse or from a nearby sea cliff.
A rare island experience, Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. is first and foremost a working farm. In addition this scenic gathering space, nestled between cultivated tidelands on the pristine waters of Westcott Bay, offers on-site picnic tables to shuck and slurp your own oysters and while enjoying a cold beverage.
Depending on the weather, we recommend taking the opportunity to take a whale watching tour. Watching the Orcas is a unique, fun opportunity. Peak season is considered the summer months of mid-June through early September--but you still frequently see great wildlife in April.
