 WE LOVE THE KITSAP PENINSULA!

LOVE KITSAP IS A LIFESTYLE BRAND, an ever-evolving source of inspiration meant to help move you toward your next adventure.

You’ve heard that phrase ‘Live Your Best Life’ - well, we believe that living on the Kitsap Peninsula is our best life! The lifestyle - where we play, shop, gather, learn, work, eat and relax - is a unique mix of rural sensibilities with modern vision backdropped by iconic PNW landscapes.

The Kitsap Peninsula is home to a handful of individual cities, several distinct regions and dozens of unique neighborhoods. What area will best suit your individual needs? What will your new lifestyle look like? Where will you eat? What will you do? What wonderfully unique people will you befriend? More importantly, who will you BECOME? Who will your children BECOME? Love Kitsap exists to explore these wonderments and give life to these ideas in a helpful, meaningful way.

If you choose to live on the Kitsap Peninsula, here’s how you will LIVE.

But of course, the best beach is whatever beach we happen to be on at any given time.

point no point

Hansville, WA

A historic lighthouse and a perfect beach await you at the northern tip of the Kitsap Peninsula. Point No Point is well worth the journey - walk among the driftwood as the wind whips the wavelets.

Guillemot Cove

Seabeck, WA

Guillemot Cove holds a special place in our hearts. This little known but much-beloved park is one part pine forest, one part wetland, and one part hidden beach (hence, cove). 184 acres of adventure.

Fay Bainbridge Park

Bainbridge Island, WA

A wind-swept stretch of beach strewn with a ba-zillion pieces of driftwood - Fay Bainbridge Park is a local favorite for picnics, beach combing and taking in the huge views of the Puget Sound. Tent and RV Camping are seasonally available at Fay Bainbridge, making this a great option for a staycation getaway or a score for an out of town adventurer.
