We just had a wonderful stay at Deer Harbor Marina on Orcas Island. Coming in from a marine state park, it was wonderful to have all the amenities and friendly faces at the Marina. From the friendly dock hands who helped us into our slip to the gift shop and office workers we were treated so well ! We will definitely recommend the Marina to our boating friends in the Squalicum yacht club of Bellingham and are going to write an article for our next newsletter. Also the recommendations for Island Pie Pizza and Matthew s smokehouse Restaurant were spot on. We had great meals at each place in walking distance to the Marina, within one mile. Also the showers,ice cream and dock store with ICE and cold drinks were wonderful. Thanks for a beautiful holiday.
