This may not be Moby Dick, but this whale sure knows how to flaunt it.
Orcas Island
No list of whale-watching destinations would be complete without a nod to Orcas Island, the largest of the islands off the coast of Washington state. Often touted as the “gem of the San Juan islands,” this nature-lovers' paradise also bears a name reminiscent of the killer whales that gather off its 125 miles of coastline. The island is a haven for marine mammal lovers, who flock here in spring and summer to watch pods of cresting gray whales and orcas; you can observe them too, and a host of rare sea creatures like harbor seals and porpoises, by taking a cruise through the protected waters along the coast.
