*"Some great food options: The fanciest/best restaurants are Matia and Doe Bay, but we typically get reservations several weeks in advance. Other excellent ones: a) Lascaux has excellent brunch, b) Buck Bay is good for outdoor lunch, fun with kids and pets,  best oysters in WA, ceviche and crab. Lascaux and Buck Bay are about a mile from my place. c) Houlme pizza (excellent pizza), d) Sea Bird some of the best pastries I've had, but open only from 9 to ~10am on Saturdays. Their pastries are like art pieces: https://www.seabirdbakeshop.com/ e) Salvadorean popusas at the Saturday farmers market are good and cheap. f) New Leaf good for lunch and dinner, might require reservation. Reservations required but not as hard as Matia/Doe Bay: 1. Mijitas decent Mexican food. 2) Inn and Ship Bay, fancier dinners, nice views. g) King Fish, west side of the island, great food."

  • "For outdoor activities, there is hiking, sailing, sea/lake kayaking. The ones I haven't tried yet that I'd love to do are: sailing, kayak tour of Sucia (these require reservation, which I'm happy to do). kayaking in Mountain Lake. Also, activities that I have done several times and enjoy doing again, hike to Mt Constitution, Cascade Lake (swim/kayak), Turtle Back Mountain Hike, Obstruction Pass park, etc."
  • "a potential fun activity with kids is minigolf, we haven't been but we've heard good things"
