"For whale watching without the expense and environmental impact of a motorized boat tour, pitch up with your binoculars at Lime Kiln Point State Park on the west side of San Juan Island. Gray, humpback, minke and, yes, orca whales are all known to frequent these waters from spring through fall. Rocky trails hug the cliffs where you can pick out your favorite viewing spot. Check in at the Lime Kiln Interpretive Center for the latest whale sighting reports before you head down to the water’s edge. If whales prove elusive, the park’s 103-year-old lighthouse is guaranteed to be on display.

"If you get lucky you can see whales and porpoise right from shore here at Lime Kiln Park! That's right, from Spring - Fall, Orcas, Humpback, Grey, Minke whales, and porpoise can be seen just off shore. It's actually considered one of the best places on earth to see them from land. Stop in at the Lime Kiln Interpretive Center for some interesting exhibits. There is hiking, picnicking and bird watching. This is a day use park and you will need either a one day pass, or an annual Discover Pass to get in."
