9Lime Kiln Point State Park
This park can be found on West Side Road in Friday Harbor. While many people think you have to climb aboard a boat to watch whales, the truth is you can do it from land as well. Indeed, this is one of the best places in the entire state from which to watch whales if you’re prone to getting seasick.
While it is a comparatively small day-use park, it offers exceptional opportunities to see gray whales, humpback whales, minke whales, orcas, and even porpoises. The best time to visit is between the months of May and September. You can also see the exhibits, take a hike, or tour the local lighthouse.
