The Kitsap Peninsula
The "Great Peninsula"
Located in-between the 18th largest city (Seattle, Washington) and the 13th largest national park in the US (Olympic National Park) you’ll find the inspiring Kitsap Peninsula. A quick ferry ride from Seattle will place you on a day trip adventure at "The Natural Side of the Puget Sound," which has all of the activities you could dream of.
Some say that the best way to really see nature is to explore the area. The Kitsap Peninsula has numerous state parks and hiking trails just waiting for you to see and climb. The Guillemot Cove Nature Preserve is a beautiful 184 acre park with beach access and hiking trails. The oldest lighthouse on the Puget Sound, Point No Point Lighthouse, features more than just hiking trails with Olympic Mountain views and water views: you can enjoy tours of the lighthouse and museum on the weekends during the summer.
In addition to fishing, kayaking and beach activities abound on the 370 miles of the Kitsap Peninsula shoreline. You’ll be able to tap into your adventurous side for plenty of other options as well. People don't usually associate the upper pacific territory with scuba diving but the Kitsap Peninsula is actually a great location to partake in this activity. The waters tend to stay on the colder side, and a variety of sea animals call this area home (Octopus, Sixgill sharks and Wolf eels to name a few). Whales are also another sea creature that can be seen around the Peninsula!
Do you need a little relaxation before dinner? Try one of Kitsap's more than two dozen craft breweries or wineries. Many of the vineyards only use locally sourced produce to make their wines, so revelers get a true taste of the Pacific Northwest. At d'Vine Wines Wine Bar, the only wine bar on the Kitsap Peninsula, you can get the best of both worlds with locally crafted beers and wines offered.
After a long day of sightseeing, relax with a taste of the local cuisine. The Kingston Ale House, Sully's Bistro & Bar, and The Olympic Timberhouse Restaurant are all popular options that feature a variety of seafood dishes. Some of the local breweries and wineries have dining options as well.
The best of the what the Kitsap Peninsula has to offer? It's pet friendly! All of the locations listed in this article welcome you to bring Rover along for a visit - as do we here at Robin Hood Resort Villas. Cabins #9, #10, #12 and #13 are ready for dogs under 15lbs.
So join us for a stay and see for yourself what’s so great about the “Great Peninsula”.
