Holiday Beach

The landscape around Holiday Beach is a forested, tidal stretch of Hood Canal on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, which has shaped both its scattered shoreline settlement and recreation-based local economy. Despite its name, Hood Canal is a long, glacier-carved inlet of Puget Sound, with saltwater shores beneath the wooded foothills of the Olympic Mountains. Boating, fishing and shellfish harvesting are closely tied to these sheltered waters. The wider Hood Canal area forms part of the traditional homeland of the Skokomish people, whose reservation is located at the canal’s southern end. Holiday Beach provides a quiet point of access to this water-and-forest corner of western Washington.
