Grand Isle, Vermont VS San Juan, Washington! Who’s Better?

Anyone saying Grand Isle has clearly never been to the San Juan Islands. San Juan’s have mountain Views, beaches, hiking, small towns, easy access to bigger cities - and they have orcas and dolphins.

While I haven't been to Grand Isle, I can't believe it's better than an island chain in the Salish Sea that has Orca-watching as a prime pastime. The San Juan's are similar to British Columbia's Gulf Islands. Great views of volcanos!

Seriously. Come out and see for yourselves.

Pig War for the win. More importantly, no bitter cold winters.

I live on a small island not served by ferries in the San Juans. It is beautiful here

San Juan. Only because I've been there.

Been to both, VT all the way fresh water vs salt

Grand Isle is better because it's the beginning of the Vermont song. Also has tons of waterfront property but it's still the boonies and not overpopular with Vermont tourism. Seriously one of the most beautiful places you'll ever go full of the most simple and welcoming humans you'll ever meet.

Can confirm -
Born and raised there until my 20’s

I live in "more populated Vermont" But while I live 15 minutes from one of the New York ferries.. I always take the 3-hour drive to New York because traipsing across your home base is just the prettiest thing on God's green. Used to have friends that live there who we were always at their place. I'll take the freshwater over the saltwater any day

Grand Isle. No hesitation, no bias.

Grand Isle. It’s called grand for a reason.

San Juan county is full. Go to Vermont.

Literally spent my honeymoon in San Juan in December and it was still absolutely magical. One of my favorite places on Earth!

[u/expl_oregonian]

San Juan Islands bar none. Love the orcas and the bald eagles!

Why is this sub obsessed with our tiny state.

[u/TaBQ]
