Is There Enough to Do on San Juan Island Right Now?

Yes! We feel blessed that many of the island’s most popular activities provide natural social distancing:  like hiking, biking, birding, whale and wildlife watching from land. Find the 5 Most Exhilarating San Juan Island Hikes here. You can even use our self-check-out complimentary beach cruiser bikes for a ride to the nearest beach. Other great activities during your stay might include:

• A visit to San Juan Vineyards for a wine tasting;
• A stroll through the 40-acre San Juan Sculpture Park on the north end of the isle
• A trip to the Alpaca Farm
• Picking up some fresh oysters from Westcott Bay Shellfish Co. and grilling them over a bonfire on South Beach for sunset.

Are the Restaurants Open?  Many restaurants are open for in-dining at a limited capacity and most restaurants are currently open for take-out. And, oh the possibilities!  Why not have lunch on the docks watching Friday Harbor’s sailboats bob in the water?  Or head to the Whale Watch Park and dine at a picnic table overlooking the serene Salish Sea.  Want something super chill?  How about pizza, beer and a movie in your comfy bed?

Are the Pool and Spa at Your Sister Hotel Open for Us to Use? The pool, sauna, hot tub and fitness center are currently closed. The spa at the Earthbox Inn & Spa will reopen on June 22 with a limited service offering.  Please call the Spa directly at 360.378.3383 to book your treatment.

Bring Your Own PPE / Face Masks are Required in San Juan County: We urge you to bring your own Personal Protection Equipment. Masks are required in all public interior spaces and outside when you can't maintain six feet separation from others. The availability of masks, gloves and hand sanitizer on the island may be limited at times.

How Do I Travel Safely to San Juan Island Right Now? We recommend taking the Washington State Ferry from Anacortes and that you stay in your car during the one-hour ride over or plan on wearing your PPE.

Last But Not Least!  We love what we do and we love YOU! Making your day and making your stay is what we live for. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and learning how to be there for you while we social distance is the hardest part of trying to figure out where to go from here. We are committed continuing to provide the service that you deserve!  We are here for you.
