What can I see and do at Freshwater Bay?
- Kayaking: With lushly forested cliffs and dramatic rock arches, kayaking is a great way to explore Freshwater Bay Washington. The bay is extremely shallow and has a small dock for kayaks and small boats only.
- Tide Pools: Because of the natural erosion of the bay and cliffs, low tide is a great time to visit the bay and explore the various creatures living in the tide pools.
- Fishing and Crabbing: The tides often sweep nutrient rich kelp and small fish into Freshwater Bay making this a feeding ground for bigger fish like salmon and halibut.
- Picnicking: Bring a book and a lunch. Escape to a secluded 5-acre picnic area naturally landscaped with Western Red Cedar and ferns, located on the bluff above the bay.
