A secluded cove amid the evergreens
Guillemot Cove is one of the Kitsap Peninsula’s most serene outdoor escapes, where lush forest trails lead down to a quiet Hood Canal beach framed by towering evergreens and moss-covered logs. Highlights include gentle creek crossings, seasonal waterfalls, excellent birdwatching, and expansive tide flats that come alive during low tide. For the best experience, plan your visit around a low tide for beach exploring, wear sturdy shoes for occasionally muddy trails, and bring binoculars or a picnic to fully soak in the calm, unspoiled beauty that makes Guillemot Cove a local favorite. Once you are at the cove you can take a short walk to a giant old growth stump with a roof, a magical place for kids of all ages!
