Anniverary Trip, Gig Harbor, WA - Beautiful and Relaxing

We celebrated our 30th anniversary with a quick 3 day, 2 night trip to Gig Habor about 3.5 hours away, by car. Since the weather has been hot dry and smokey in South Eastern WA, a trip to the coast seemed in order.

Instead of staying in a hotel, we rented a yacht, it remained tied to the docks, but morning coffee in the harbor watching seals and sea birds while listening to gentle waves is a nice way to wake up.

The BlueGoose harbored in Gig Harbor in a private moorage section was a great choice. This photo capture is from their marketing site.

At low tide, we went beachcombing on Sunset Beach, 6 miles of beautiful beach that is difficult to access and requires a hike. So, it remains pristine and quiet even on beautiful sunny days.

The view of Mountain Rainer in the background and a riptide so powerful you can see it, we truly enjoyed walking along the beach.

6 miles of beautiful rarely used beach. We spent a few hours just walking and looking around.

Later that day we took a short tour boat ride to hear local history and interesting facts about Gig Harbor, home of the largest Giant Ocopus known to man.

this is a beautiful local carving and Gig Harbor loves it's history with the Giant Ocopus.

We had a great time and if you have the chance a couple of days in Gig Harbor is about perfect to view the sites and relax a bit.
