Seattle | Little Hawaii: Lopez Island

📍 Lopez Island No clickbait here—the coastline of this island truly resembles the Na Pali Coast of Kauai, Hawaii! The island even has a secret upscale restaurant. 🥾 Iceberg Point Trail : 3 miles, easy to navigate, but follow the AllTrails map closely to avoid going off-trail (we wandered off and ended up scrambling rocks!). Takes 1-2 hours. 🐟 Shark Reef Nature Trail : Offers stunning views of turquoise blue waters and a distant glimpse of Cattle Point Lighthouse on San Juan Island. Spot seals lounging on Deadman Island—adorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! ⛱ Fisherman Bay Spit Preserve : Accessible by car, with a short trail to the beach. ⭐ Highly recommended! Takes about 1 hour. 🛒 Lopez Village: The island’s "CBD," home to all its restaurants, shops, cafes, bookstores, and ice cream parlors. 🌲 Odlin County Park: A campground with ocean views, incredibly peaceful. Plan to book campsites early next year—perfect for spending an afternoon reading by the sea! 📖 #LopezIsland #WashingtonIslands #SeattleTravel #HiddenGems #IslandLife#Seattle#travel guide#trip diary#Seattle life
