Salmon Fishing under the Agate Passage Bridge

A  good area to go salmon fishing is under the Agate Passage bridge.  The bridge connects Bainbridge Island with Kitsap county and there is beach access from the Bainbridge Island side.  If you are crossing the bridge toward Bainbridge, take the first left after the bridge  and follow the road until you get to a large power line tower park then walk down the short trail.

From the Suquamish side I usually access the beach from Chief Seattle Park and walk to the bridge.  There may be access from the park and ride area on the Kitsap side of the bridge.

Even if you don’t catch a salmon, it is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the beaches, views and salty air of  Puget Sound.

Bella Luna French Dip

Bella Luna French Dip

If you have not taken the time to stop by Bella Luna Pizzeria in Suquamish and try their french dip with bread that they bake themselves, you are missing out on a mouth watering experience.  They serve the best pizza in the area and excellent pasta dishes, salads and more.

Suquamish Dock

After satisfying your taste buds, a stroll down the new Suquamish dock makes for a perfect way to spend some time enjoying the views of the Puget Sound.

What a view from Apple Tree Point

While visiting friends on Apple Tree Point on one of those hot summer days, we took this photo looking across the sound to Whidbey Island. Since we live in such a dynamic area it is important to get out and enjoy our beaches and water recreation. This particular part of Puget Sound offers a fantastic view of the shipping lanes which includes, at about 5 pm daily, the cruise ships passing by on their way to Alaska. What with all the clamming, drift wood and shell gathering, fishing, walking in the sand, and wading in the water – well, what a wonderful summer we have had this year in Puget Sound.
