Deer Harbor is located on Orcas Island Wa.on the south west end of the island. We boated in to the dock on the right for the 3rd of July fireworks. They always seen to find a spot to tie the boat up . With the gas dock , small store and showers at the top of the ramp there isnt much more a boater needs to get by for the weekend . Swimming pool on the hillside gives the marina a special touch to relax.
A large tidal pool on the north end of the harbor makes for good Kayaking at high tide .
The local bus stops at the dock for a tour of the island or hitch a ride to the golf course .
Would I come back YES .

Best Quiet Boating Stop in the San Juans

This is my favorite place to boat to in the San Juan Islands. There isn't much there other than the marina, a very small store and a timeshare place (that doesn't share any amenties with the boaters). The reason I love it though, is that it is so beautiful and peaceful. It's a great place to tool around in a dighy and there are abundant places to walk with few or no cars to interfere (turn right on the main road and keep walking).

There is a hotel if you walk left on the main road. They have a restaurant, but it is very pricey. I can't speak for the food since I've never eaten there though.

There is also a shuttle that will take you into town if you're so inclined!
