About This Anchorage
Eagle Harbor on the east side of Bainbridge Island gives you the best of both worlds: a protected anchorage a short dinghy ride from the walkable town of Winslow, with its restaurants, grocery stores, and the iconic Winslow Way. The harbor is large enough to swing comfortably, with good holding in soft mud, and the Bainbridge Island Marina provides guest moorage if you'd rather tie up.
Highlights
- Walk to Winslow for restaurants, coffee shops, and provisioning
- Washington State Ferries terminal — easy crew changes from Seattle
- Bainbridge Island Winery and local food scene within walking distance
- Protected from wind in most conditions
- Rich marine life — seals and otters common in the harbor
Cautions & Notes
- Washington State Ferry wakes roll through — set a second anchor
- Anchorage area is shared with local moorings — space can be tight
- Approach carefully; shoal areas on the south shore
- Harbor traffic heavy on weekends and ferry peak hours
