Maps of San Juan Islands

Johns Island is a small private island located in the San Juan Islands archipelago, situated between Lopez Island and San Juan Island. The island covers approximately 180 acres and maintains a low profile both literally and figuratively within the island group. Its relatively flat topography and limited size distinguish it from the larger, more prominent islands in the archipelago.

Access to Johns Island is restricted, as it is privately owned with no public facilities or ferry service. The island can only be reached by private boat or seaplane. The island supports a small number of private residences, with development kept minimal to preserve the natural environment. Much of the island remains in a natural state, with native vegetation and wildlife habitats intact.

The surrounding waters of Johns Island are part of the productive marine ecosystem of the Salish Sea. Harbor seals, sea lions, and various seabird species utilize the shoreline and nearby waters. The island's beaches and rocky outcroppings provide habitat for intertidal species typical of the region. While public access to the island itself is not available, boaters often pass by Johns Island when navigating between larger islands in the archipelago. The island's private ownership and limited development have helped maintain its quiet, undisturbed character, representing one of many small islands in the San Juan group that remain primarily in natural condition.
