Bainbridge Island



Bainbridge Island is a busy entry point to the Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas. The island's ferry terminal provides regular access across Puget Sound to and from Seattle. Three large marinas in Eagle Harbor dominate the waterfront near the ferry terminal. Shops and eateries are in walking distance of the ferry terminal and marinas. The island is a popular destination of bicycle enthusiasts. Contact the Chamber office for maps and scenic bike routes.

Picnics can be enjoyed at city parks, nearby beaches, Fay Bainbridge State Park with its wide-angle view of metro Seattle, and at Fort Ward State Park, a day-use park on the quiet side of Rich Passage.

The Bainbridge Island Winery is a short walk from the ferry terminal. The winery features a vineyard, tasting room, picnic area and wine museum. The winery is on Highway 305 on the right side of the highway as you drive our of the ferry terminal.

While on the island a great retreat can be found at the Island Country Inn.
