For a day of shopping, dining, and urban exploration, head a few minutes north to Fairhaven where you’ll find everything from family-friendly establishments to hot spots perfect for a night out much closer than you’d expect to the seaside retreat.

For a day of adventure, head to the nearby 100-Acre Woods (officially known as Chuckanut Community Forest), or set out for run, walk or bike ride along the Interurban Trail. The Bayside Swimming Pool is another popular destination—home to parties, swim lessons, swim teams and more, this summertime hangout is a favorite in the community. Much of this original neighborhood’s history can be seen in the spectacular homes, especially those up at Clark’s point.
