Things to do….
An essential part of staying at the Willows Inn on Lummi Island is enjoying the many island activities available. Start nearby with a stroll along Sunset Beach. Up for some exercise and enjoying nature? We’ll loan you a bicycle, or you can rent an electric bicycle by the half-day ($35). Or perhaps you prefer walking and hiking. Either way, the concierge will happily map some suggested trails and routes.
The Willows Inn on Lummi Island is a perfect choice for corporate events and private dinner parties.
Whenever weather permits, we’re pleased to book you for kayaking, whale-watching, or a hop to another island. The surrounding islands and mountains provide excellent day trips.
