Eastsound
The central village of Orcas Island, with galleries, pottery studios, cafés, and bay views, moving at a slower pace than Friday Harbor.
Eastsound sits at the top of Orcas Island's horseshoe shape and is where the island's shops, restaurants, and accommodations are most concentrated. It has several local artists' galleries and glassblowing studios, and in summer the village market sells farm produce and handmade goods. You can walk along the bay to watch the sunset or rent a kayak. It is about 13 km from the Orcas Island ferry landing, so you will need a car or a pre-booked shuttle.
