The Maritime City Imagine a triangle of natural phenomena, the mystique of islands, channels and inlets define the middle. Spectacular snowcapped mountains surround it. A lush rain forest and nature parks throughout. Puget Sound is just such a place.  And nestled at the south end of the Sound is the quiet waterfront village of Gig Harbor — a community rich in maritime history, scenery, quaint shops and unparalleled recreation.An Escape from the Ordinary The Gig Harbor Peninsula area is a haven for scenery lovers and those seeking an escape from the ordinary. Ours is the awesome view of Mount Rainier that adorns calendars and travel books. Stroll the Waterfront Take some time to stroll the waterfront, enjoy dining of every flavor, step into colorful galleries featuring local artists, visit a selection of specialty shops. Meet friendly local shopkeepers who pride themselves on distinctive gifts and service. Browse antique shops, find unique treasures. A Character Defined by Its Harbor Boats of all sizes, shapes and colors breeze through the harbor, including many of the historic fishing fleet that gives the area its character. Fishing remains a way of life for many Gig Harbor families and working vessels can be seen in the harbor at all times. Recreation and More Water sports and recreation abounds with swimming, fishing sailing, kayaking, windsurfing. Comb the beaches for shells, driftwood and other collectibles. Take a sunset walk along the shoreline. Dip your toes from the public dock, wade on in from the beach, or enjoy the views from Gig Harbor's only lighthouse. Take to the Links Golf anyone? Gig Harbor is blessed with several premier courses [including Canterwood, Madrona Links and the Gig Harbor Golf Course] and a wonderful driving range. Or take a hike in the state parks, go birding around the Peninsula, bike the beautiful Crescent Valley. Opportunities are endless. Shopping and Dining At the end of the day, enjoy fine dining, along with arts and entertainment here in the Harbor.
