Lopez Island, the
third largest of the San Juan Islands,
has a local population of nearly 2,000 people and
lies about 80 miles north-northwest of
Seattle in the Strait of Juan de
Fuca.
A pleasant 45-minute ferry ride links Lopez
Island to the mainland city of
Anacortes. Visitors
can also reach the island by scheduled flights from Seattle or by chartered
planes from various Northwest cities.
A predominately rural island of rolling hills and flat pastureland, Lopez
Island is a great place for bicyclists and for travelers seeking a quiet
retreat from the bustle of the mainland. Visitors can immerse themselves in
the many activities along the seashore, or take time to enjoy the bakeries,
shops and galleries that dot the island. A farmer’s market is held twice a
week during the summer. Lopez Island Vineyards, the San Juan’s only winery,
sells organically-produced wines and is open for scheduled wine tastings.
Accommodations are spread across the island
as well and include several inns and private cabins for rent.
Lopez Island is home to several natural
attractions, including the 138-acre Spencer Spit State Park, a favorite
site for clamming and crabbing. Shark Reef Sanctuary has 45 acres of day
trails along old growth woods and scenic coastal vistas. A variety of birds
and wildlife can be observed on the island from its several parks. Visitors
also can take advantage of local kayaking and boat
tours, or rent a kayak for a private tour of the island’s coastal waters.
Visiting the other three San Juan Islands by ferry from Lopez is easy as
well, and can be an enjoyable way to see the distinctive communities of the
San Juan Islands.
