One of the most scenic short hikes you’ll ever experience. I first hiked it 28 years ago and recently visited again. Was it as gorgeous as I remember? Yes, and more! Forest, check. Views, check. Great little beach? Check. Bring a lunch and enjoy the afternoon. And plan ahead to camp in one of the backcountry sites.

One of my favorite places in the Pacific Northwest. You can’t improve on the forested waterfront location. Great relaxed vice. I’ve visited numerous times over the past few decades. Stayed in a yurt on my most recent visit. Enjoyed breakfast and dinner at the cafe, soaking in the cribs, hiking nearby trails and exploring Eastsound. The rustic accommodations are great. Like camping with a comfy bed in a big tent.
