Blakely Harbor Park — Attraction in Bainbridge Island

Wonderful open area on Bainbridge south. Multiple access points lead to different treasures. Good place to launch watercraft for a paddle in Blakely Harbor which is calm and sheltered, or paddle a bit further out and visit Rockaway Beach and Blakely Rock. Stunning views of Seattle including sun and moon rises!

On shore there are many hiking trails including a few picnic tables, benches and decks to chill on. There is a small sandy beach on the south side of the bridge that’s nice for a dip.

I may visit again...
