The leaves are falling and the humpbacks are returning, while San Juan Island, tucked inside the Olympic rain shadow, shines in the Autumn sun. Find yourself alone with the sea lions and Bald Eagles on a stunning beach hike before treating yourself to a luscious, seasonal farm-to-table dinner at one of the cute Friday Harbor restaurants. Bike the highest mountain and hike the longest beach without another human soul in sight. Celebrate the long lazy days of Autumn on the isle with the authentic Oktoberfest at San Juan Brewing on October 1, 2022. Or treat yourself to the first in-person Friday Harbor Film Festival since 2019 on October 21-23, 2022 and see the newest environmental documentaries all over walkable Friday Harbor. Don’t miss the free Fall Family Art Days every Saturday at the San Juan Museum of Art and know that, starting October 1, youth under 18 years ride free on the Washington State Ferries.
