Travel from sea to sky-that's just one of the many benefits of a stay at Discovery Bay. Situated near the end of a sinuous, saltwater cul-de-sac just off the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the resort takes full advantage of its location.
Discovery Bay is like a condensed view of the Northwest, offering both ocean and mountain experiences. Visit Sequim, a short 15 miles away, and enjoy the aromatic Lavender this town is famous for. Take a walk along seven-mile Dungeness Spit for views of the Sound. Drive up Hurricane Ridge for a close up look at the Olympic Mountains. Or, just across the strait, enjoy an afternoon of crumpets and tea in Victoria, B.C., Canada. Whale watching is also a major attraction, and several tours can be caught from nearby Port Townsend, only 15 miles away from the resort!
You'll be astonished by the range of choices. But you may just want to sit back on your deck, grill up some salmon and look out over the bay-you know, become one with the sea and the sky.
Helpful Hints Having a car/vehicle is strongly recommended to enjoy Discovery Bay and its attractions, as there is limited public transportation available.

We enjoyed as locals getting to visit this beautiful area!! The condo was clean and large! So nice to have laundry and a kitchen, everything you need & handy for having little ones with us! We had to reserve a pool time (Covid phase 2) which worked out great & the staff was extremely courteous and friendly. Quiet and secluded location, about 20 minutes to restaurants & the Olympic game park is only 30 mins away. Highly recommend for enjoying this part of beautiful WA!
We had a great stay at the condo. Great view of the water. Saw two bald eagles fishing! Very clean The, plenty of room, easy check-in. My only complaint would be that the beds could use new mattresses.
