SHARED AMENITIES:
The Spa Patio that features a jetted hot tub may be enjoyed by all registered guests of the Chico Bay Inn.
At the bottom of the beach stairs is a bulkhead separated into two different lounge areas. Each bulkhead lounge area offers a fire pit and chairs and is ideal for enjoying a campfire right next to the beach. There is a third lounge area with chairs on the ridge overlooking the bulkhead and beach that is perfect for taking in the sweeping views.
We also offer recreational sit-in kayaks, paddles, and life vests for all sizes available for your use during your stay at no additional cost. We recommend only launching during medium to high tides (see Bremerton, WA tide charts to plan your excursions) for the best kayaking experience.
Many beaches in the Pacific Northwest are devoid of sand and full of barnacle covered rocks. Ours is no exception… for the first 20 feet. Then, at low tide after the first 20 feet, parts of the beach can be quite muddy. Bring your mud boots for full exploration of local shellfish habitats and long quiet walks during low tides. A walk along the beach at low tide, while being quite muddy, can be a magical experience as you see tiny crabs scurrying to hide behind oysters and clams squirting water out of the mud like the Bellagio fountains.
