Watch orca's from shore

Author: Lime Kiln Point, on the west side of San Juan Island in Washington state, may be the best place in the world to view orca whales from shore. The best viewing is from the rocks around the light house.

This orca came within 20 or 30 yards of the rocks we were standing on. San Juan County Park is a great place to stay if you want to camp.

Close enough to recognize the saddle patch.

The orcas fish for salmon among the kelp, right next to the rocks. An orca’s white patch can be seen beneath the surface in the above photo.
