Things To Do: Bainbridge Island
Lytle Beach
This is a sandy beach, great for relaxing and taking a dip!
Point White Dock
One of Laura's favorite spots from her time living on Bainbridge. It's really fun to jump off of the dock--depending on the tide it can be a pretty far way down. Even if you don't jump in, the views are unbeatable, and the beach has beautiful rocks!
Fay Bainbridge Park
This is a gorgeous State Park that has an expansive beach, driftwood paradise, picnic areas, camping, and more! If you choose to extend your trip on either end of our wedding, this is a really awesome place to stay. Book your campsite early! Let us know if you go, and we can give you instructions for how to get to a nearby park at night and see/swim in bioluminescent plankton! As it is a state park, you will need a Discover Pass (if you live in WA!) or to pay a day-use fee. If you spend the night, your campsite fee covers you, so you don't need to pay an additional day-use fee. We can also lend our Discover Pass so let us know if this is on your agenda for the weekend!
Pegasus Coffee House
We love going here for coffee and breakfast!
Blackbird Bakery
This is a classic Bainbridge location! Delicious coffee and pastries, and the toast is AMAZING! (Freshly baked bread, butter, and homemade raspberry preserves!)
Harbour Public House AKA "The Pub"
This nautical restaurant/bar is frequented by people visiting by boat, as it is right on the marina. The Pub has an amazing patio and life-changing clam or smoked salmon chowder. It's a good idea to go at off-hours, and expect a wait. It's worth it, though!
Via Rosa 11
This is an amazing Italian restaurant and grocery store! We love to get the wood-fired pizza and bring it to Fay Bainbridge State Park. Their handmade pasta is also a treat!
Bainbridge Brewing Alehouse
Bainbridge Brewing is on the island, and their taproom is just off the ferry! A great place to enjoy a local craft beer. The brewing facility also has a taproom and is fun to visit, but harder to get to without a car.
Bay Hay and Feed
Is it a garden center? A cafe? A post office? An animal feed store? A natural grocer? A gift shop? A clothing/shoe store? YES! This place has it all. It is quintessential Bainbridge and definitely worth a stop. (If you decide to check it out, bonus points if you can spot the boulder outside that Laura once accidentally drove her car onto! She got it un-stuck with the help of a friendly tow truck driver. Thanks, Mom, for your moral support through that adventure!)
Bainbridge Island Museum of Art
This museum has amazing rotating exhibits, and admission is free!
Bainbridge Island Historical Museum
Bainbridge Island has a fascinating history, and this is a great place to learn more!
