What can I see and do at Sequim Bay?
- Kayak: Kayaking is a great way to explore Sequim Bay’s calm waters, kelp beds, dramatic cliffs, harbor seals, otters, occasional grey whales and other marine life. Bring your own kayak, rent one, or join a tour.
- Fishing: Sequim Bay is a longtime northwest fisherman’s secret. Actor John Wayne loved fishing here so much that he purchased land near the town and the local marina bears his name. Check Washington’s Fish and Wildlife Department’s website before you fish, as regulations do change from time to time.
- Boat Tours: In July the Protection Island Puffin Dinner Cruise leaves from the John Wayne Marina and circumnavigates Protection Island, home to tufted puffins, rhinoceros auklets, glaucous-winged gulls, and other seabirds.
