Breakwater Marina
Breakwater Marina sits right on Commencement Bay in Tacoma, giving you stunning views of Mount Rainier on clear days alongside easy access to the open sound. Now managed by Tacoma City Parks, this working marina is home to around 120 boats and a tight-knit community of liveaboards, giving it a real neighborhood feel rather than a sterile yacht club vibe. You're close to Tacoma's waterfront district, with the Museum of Glass and the Foss Waterway just a short trip away.
