There are numerous small islands in the Puget Sound opposite Port Orchard and Bremerton ports. Among them are Break Island, Vashon Island and the best known of them all is Bainbridge Island. All are accessible by boat.

Some of our guests have already planned trips to Vancouver BC and Victoria (Canada). Both are accessible from Port Angeles (north of Port Orchard, about an hour and a half’s drive or 80 miles) by ferry. Or you may want the more scenic route to Vancouver/Victoria (also by ferry) through the San Juan Islands. Please be aware that (as of February 1st) a picture ID is no longer acceptable as border crossing documentation. A passport or birth certificate is also needed if your loved ones in the US are going to see you again.
