Explore the waterfront pedestrian trail
Walking the Port Orchard waterfront path - often called the Bay Street Pedestrian Pathway or boardwalk - is a scenic, paved route along Sinclair Inlet that’s perfect for a leisurely stroll, jog, or bike ride with marina and Olympic Mountain views. The trail connects from downtown Bay Street past Port Orchard Waterfront Park, Soroptimist Overlook, and Rockwell Park, with benches, pocket beaches, and picnic spots to pause and enjoy the water and wildlife. You’ll find stops like the DeKalb Street Pedestrian Pier jutting into the inlet, ideal for watching birds or sunset reflections off the water. Along the way you can dip into local shops, cafés, and eateries, or catch views of ferries and Bremerton shipyards across the inlet as boat traffic drifts by.
