Explore the Kitsap Peninsula

>> miles of shoreline

The Kitsap Peninsula, connected to the mainland by just a narrow strip of land, juts out into Puget Sound with its many fingers and inlets and islands, comprising more than 300 miles of scenic shoreline in all. Your destinations for romantic getaways are numerous here, and the Peninsula makes a terrific place for families to explore, too.

Step off the ferry from Seattle at Winslow on Bainbridge Island and experience a Northwest small town that incorporates the best of the big city just across the water. You’ll find upscale boutiques here, bookstores, fine dining, great coffee and pastries, and even a children’s museum for the kiddos. The rest of Bainbridge Island is beautiful, lush and rural.

Visit Poulsbo for a little slice of Norway, the freshest seafood and many charming bed and breakfasts and inns. Visit Point No Point at the Kitsap Peninsula’s tip and check out the first lighthouse built on Puget Sound. Rent kayaks and enjoy an easy paddle around the calm, sheltered waters of Gig Harbor.

These are just a few of the reasons that Kitsap is one of our favorite get-away destinations.
