Port Angeles is beautiful, too.
There's good camping on all the islands (Orcas, Lopez, Shaw), but the only place I've camped is the San Juan County Campground. It's RIGHT on the water overlooking Haro Strait. I've seen orcas in the distance, and even heard their blows (Thar she blows!) at night when they were fishing. I could try other camp spots, but I really don't want to. It's basically like my vacation home, but considerably less expensive and I don't have to pay property tax.

I only spent one day in Port Angeles but I would have loved to have spent more time there. It was 'raining' ash when I was there though.
That sounds like my kind of vacation home. I camped in the sliver of Olympic National Park that's right on the Pacific Ocean, aside from the orcas it sounds like your spot. I loved it there, even if visibility was so shitty I could barely take photos.
