  A great place to see (and smell) lounging Harbor Seals. The channel from Lopez to the seal island is only about 15 yards across so you can take great pics with a zoom lens.

  There were seal everywhere! once you go on the small hike it takes to get there (about 15min) you'll love the scenery and have a blast watching the seals.

  Best place on Lopez Island is tucked away in a forest. Hike to the end and view the Elephant Seals, gorgeous bay and serenity of nature.

  Enjoyed the short, easy 15 minute hike in to the water. The currents here are strong and whirl-pool, so it is beautiful. Lots of seals and their pups lounging on the rocks you see in the water. Pretty place to have a picnic or just sit and relax.

  This was a great spot to take a little hike and see seals and sea lions. The scenery is spectacular and you can see the lighthouse on San Juan from this area.

  Nice little walk out to the cliffs, great views of San Juan Island and watching seals play in the water and on the rocks.Also happened to see a Pacific Dolphin! Crazy! Really cold and sunny day!Takes less than two hours depending on how long you want to chill and enjoy the scenery.

  It is a little walk down to the water, long enough that you can claim that you got some exercise, not so long that you get tired. Go all the way to the end, don't stop when you get to the water, you won't see the seals from there, you want to be down at the end just across from the island, then sit down and be patient, before long you will see the seals flip off the island across from you and zip out into the cut beneath you, spinning and swirling in the current, it is a sight to thrill any nature lover! I am not sure if the seals are there all the time but I know they are there in August and September when the salmon are running.

  Easy hike to a great view of seals as well as the lighthouse on lime kiln state park across the water. GPS does not function properly on the island, so glad I had written down some driving directions from TA!

  What a way to see the great Pacific Northwest - a beautiful walk through the woods along the waterfront with precarious drops. We were lucky enough to see a sea otter feeding on land - much bigger then they look in the water!

  Always love the bike to this trail head and the lovely walk to the overlook. Have never failed to see seals basking on the rocks.
