Washington Island gives you a little bit of everything: beautiful nature, culture, and some out-of-the-ordinary experiences. The most popular places to visit are Schoolhouse Beach, where you can find those rare smooth limestone rocks and crystal-clear water, and Washington Island Stavkirke, a serene Scandinavian-style wooden church. Going to Fragrant Isle Lavender Farm is another great way to spend your day as you get to enjoy the wonderful scenery and the flowers that only appear at certain times of the year. If you're interested in history, museums such as Jacobsen Museum are good options, while a visit to the nearby Rock Island State Park will treat you to hiking opportunities, a lighthouse, and nature away from the noise of the city.
