Eastsound Amenities, Location and Activities
Eastsound, Washington, is the main village on the horseshoe-shaped island of Orcas, the “Gem of the San Juan Islands,” in northern Puget Sound. With close proximity to Moran State Park (Washington’s 4th largest and arguably best – with extensive hiking trails, great fishing and camping), Orcas Island Airport is centrally located within the island as a whole. Eastsound is an optimum choice for a “base camp” for a vacation to these scenic and pastoral islands. The village has world-renowned restaurants, quaint shops, delectable bakeries, cozy lodgings, and an array of recreational opportunities, including sea kayaking, bike touring, and much more.
The red line marks the path from the Airport to Eastsound Village.
Follow the “Public Path” signs at the South end of the Airport.
It is about a 0.7 mile walk from the terminal or 0.3 miles from the South tiedown area.
For information about Eastsound stores and restaurants, see the Chamber of Commerce website.
