Lime Kiln Lighthouse and Lime Kiln Point State Park
Set on a rocky bluff at the west end of San Juan Island, Lime Kiln Point is considered one of the best whale-watching spots on earth. Pods of orcas, humpbacks, and minke whales pass through the area every May through September, with peak times depending on salmon runs. Visitors can also tour the historic 1919 lighthouse, explore the 19th-century lime kiln for which the park was named, hike along well-developed trails, or soak in views of the Olympic Mountains and Vancouver Island from the nearby sea cliff.
