lime kiln point state park印象

Spent a few hours here. Although we weren't lucky enough to see orcas, we did spot a couple seals, lots of birds and many kayakers. Nice relaxing spot even the locals like to hang out here. The light house is an easy walk, has tracking information on the pods of orcas. We had seen the light house from lopez island, it was kind of cool to then be here.

We were driving towards the park and we saw whales in the water! At the park there was a fantastic spot to watch the orca whales go bye. We had our 18 month old with us so we had a picnic while watching the whales.

While we didn't luck out and see any orcas in the area when we visited Lime Kiln State park we did see lots of other wildlife,including sea birds and deer. One early morning just outside the park we saw a doe and her two baby fawn just off the road---what a sight-- so adorable!!! The views from the park are incredibly picturesque, especially with the lighthouse in the background. We spent several hours at this park just sitting and enjoying the view! Be sure to bring a picnic and your camera!!

We came hoping to see orcas, as do many visitors. They were by Canada that day, but the views were amazing.

We were not too concerned with seeing any whales. There had only been one sighting all day. One should make the time to see the whole park. To the north we found out why it's called Lime Kiln. This site used to be a limestone quarry. One can see where the kilns were built to fire the limestone. Pretty cool to climb down and see the old kiln.To the south is the beach on Deadman's Bay. This is a scenic walk/hike along the rocky coast with some nice picture opportunities. We had lunch on one of the picnic tables. Of course everything in-between is worth visiting including the lighthouse.

Wasn't far walk,could sit and have lunch in peace and look at beautiful water below and could also go down towards rocks where the orcas come close to

I have seen lighthouses from Maine to Florida to Texas, the Great Lakes and points in-between. Lime Kiln is one of the most accessible, active, and educational lighthouse to visit. The main attraction is the orcas that frequent the area (the Southern Resident pods J, K, and L, as well as transients), but there are also many other opportunities of viewing wildlife from this lighthouse. Harbor seals frequently sunbathe on the rocks and can be seen poking their heads out of the water, harbor porpoise, Dall's porpoise, and minke whales are seen here often as well. There is a pair of bald eagles that frequent this side of the island and can be seen near the park at times.While Vancouver Island limits the sunset it is still a great place to watch it. The interpretive center and lighthouse also offer a chance at education and gifts and there is plenty of signage around the park to explain some of the things within the park.My biggest piece of advice is to be patient and observant when looking for wildlife. I saw plenty of people walk up to the lighthouse area and look around and then continue to just walk around. We had lunch at a picnic table near the lighthouse and watched a harbor seal sun itself. A number of people either walked by or stood there and did not see the little fellow. Learn to stay in one spot for a bit and observe. While staying put we were rewarded with many views of dolphin, porpoise, and eventually orcas.A Discover Pass is needed to park at the lighthouse and can be purchased at most sporting goods stores in Washington as well as the interpretive center on site during the summer months.

I went to Lime Kiln in hopes of seeing some orcas, even though I wasn't one of the lucky ones, i had a great time hanging out for a few hours. The views are beautiful and I did see a few seals hanging out in the kelp beds.Bring a picnic lunch, beach chair or towel to sit on the rocks, sunglasses, sunscreen and a good book.The park has restrooms and some picnic tables as well.

We spent an afternoon here watching the waves, seals, and even spotted a few Orcas from shore. Nicely maintained paths for a walk along the water.

Great place to spot killer whales whether you are ashore or in a boat. The lighthouse is stunning too.
