Quartermaster Harbor
Located in southern Puget Sound on Vashon Island, this is a rewarding 5-mile sea kayaking adventure in a bay that is about a half mile wide. Because it is shallow, there is no marine traffic and it has great views of shellfish. The bay is also a major wintering spot for over 35 species of birds.
