Indian Cove, stop in Orcas, United States

Indian Cove

Indian Cove is a sheltered anchorage tucked into the eastern shore of Orcas Island, where you drop the hook and take in the wooded hillsides that roll right down to the water. It's quiet and unhurried here, a world away from the busier spots nearby, with good protection from prevailing winds making it a solid overnight pick. The surrounding San Juan Islands waters are prime orca territory, so keep your eyes open.
