Port Townsend, WA is a postcard perfect setting with gorgeous water and mountain views, nature abounding everywhere and fun things to do. If we are not having a celebration or festival (Rhodie, Wooden Boat, Film, Jazz, Blues, Fiddles) you can spend many hours shopping in our delightful and innovative gift and shops and art galleries, or dining in some very good and interesting restaurants. For the nature lovers, we have a long and pristine shoreline to walk and explore, mountains to climb, bicycle and kayak rentals, and miles of walking trails. Take the whole family on an exciting whale watching excursion to picturesque Friday Harbor, or day trip to Victoria, BC or Hurricane Ridge.
