San Juan Island, Washington
You don’t have to visit British Columbia to be able to see killer whales in their natural habitat. A pod of orcas lives in the San Juan Islands archipelago all year round, just off the northwest coast of the state of Washington.
You can catch a glimpse of these giant, black-and-white mammals from Lime Kiln Point State Park on San Juan Island…Or better yet, how about from a kayak? And if whales aren’t your cup of tea, there’s plenty of biking, hiking, and fishing that will keep you entertained.
Folks who prefer a more leisurely visit will find delicious farm-to-table meals, galleries, delectable wine from Washington State, and spas.

BIEN VIENIDOS! Puerto Rico, The Hostess, With The Mostest! Do stay in the Old City of San Juan, 500 years of history in those streets, dating from Nov., 1493! Rent an apartment, in one of the pre-1898, colonial buildings! Use VRBO, Vacation Rentals by Owner! Rent a car to see the outer sights, or book tours by going to one of the big hotels along the waterfront, getting brochures, tour buses pick up there!
Cumberland Island off the coast of Georgia and Florida should have been included.
You should have included Mackinaw Island in Michigan.
