Visiting Port Orchard is like stepping back in time with its "Olde Towne" downtown theme. Restaurants, espresso & delis, craft shops, gift shops, antique shops, art galleries, new waterfront motel, and public marina all add to the appeal.

Many visitors first view Port Orchard from the water. Its large public marina draws boats from as far away as British Columbia and Alaska, and hosts a large reunion of Chris Craft owners every year. The passenger-only ferry (a remnant of the historic Mosquito Fleet) from Port Orchard to the Bremerton waterfront gives tourists and commuters an important transportation link to Seattle via the Washington State Ferry. And, it is an easy drive to Bremerton and the Washington State Ferry, as well.

Marina Park, with covered gazebo and boardwalk, offers beach access and is the site of the Port Orchard summer outdoor Farmer's Market. Annual festivals, community parks, and close proximity to larger cities make this a great place to call home.

Strolling along downtown's Bay Street is a little like stepping back in time. The Plaza Barbershop, with its candy-striped pole, has been a landmark since 1915. At Myhre's Cafe, where the regulars linger over pie and coffee, you can still get an old-fashioned milk shake.

Downtown restaurants offer a variety of cuisine, including seafood and ethnic dishes.

Main Attractions:
Waterfront park, Saturday Farmers Market, antique malls, marina, Elandan Gardens, Sidney Museum and the Log Cabin Museum.

Annual festivals include Fathoms 'O Fun, a week-long Independence Day bash, and The Cruz, in celebration of vintage cars.
