Bainbridge Island is one of the largest islands in Puget Sound, approximately eight miles due west of Seattle and comprises 28 square miles and 53 miles of coastline.
Bainbridge’s magnificent shoreline includes both open and sheltered shores and offers a diverse terrain of bluffs, spits, estuaries, streams, tidal flats, and rocky outcroppings.
