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.

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.

To spend a happy moment in sea area is the best plan. The photos you share attract me a lot to visit this area. But it is impossible now.

Well, congratulations on the anniversary... does look like a lovely spot to spend a few days!

And I'm glad you managed to be there before the smoke moved in; the last couple of days have been pretty thick around here.

Your landscape shots are impressive.

Congrats bro

I liked that landscape of the beach, it is good to always walk at low tide on the sand of the beach since it is discovered what the water usually covers. I was amazed with that story of the ocopus, if it is true, he really was a giant of the deep. Greetings friends. and congratulation's.
