Port Ludlow Marina

Tucked into the sheltered waters of Hood Canal on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, Port Ludlow Marina offers 300 slips and kayak and boat rentals if you want to get out and explore the surrounding coves. The setting is quietly stunning, with forested hillsides dropping down to calm water and the kind of unhurried pace that makes you want to linger. The marina office is open daily, with extended hours on weekends, so you've got solid support whether you're pulling in for a night or staying longer.
