Sekiu, WA · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to our little slice of heaven! This property has been part of our family’s story for years. Originally, we bought it as a summer getaway for fishing vacations, a place to build sandcastles, paddle the bay, and soak up those priceless family moments. This isn’t your typical vacation spot. Tucked amongst towering spruce and cedars, lush park-like spaces, and a private stretch of sandy beach, it’s the kind of place that takes your breath away. Sure, you’ll see stunning photos, but trust us being here is something else entirely. The moment you step foot on the property, the chaos of city life melts away, replaced by the soothing sounds of waves, birdsong, and rustling trees. For weddings, the natural beauty here is unmatched. Imagine exchanging vows with a backdrop of mountains, ocean views, and the gentle glow of golden hour lighting everything just right. It’s a setting so serene, it feels like nature itself is celebrating your love. Whether you’re staying in one of our beachfront rentals—some perfect for couples, others for families—or visiting as a guest for a wedding, this place is designed for connection. Connection to loved ones, connection to nature, and, most importantly, connection to the peace we so often forget exists. We’d love to welcome you to this place we hold so close to our hearts. Whether you’re here to tie the knot, catch the big one, or just breathe in the fresh, salty air, we hope you leave feeling a little lighter, a little more connected, and a lot more at peace.

Just outside of Port Angeles, and nestled right on the Strait of Juan De Fuca is Whiskey Creek Beach NW. This is a family owned and operated property, with northwest history and a rustic setting that will take any guest back to a simpler time. Now owned by the Pinson Family, this land was originally purchased by the Schmitt Family nearly a century ago in the small town of Joyce, Washington, back when fishing was the only draw to this beautiful landscape. There is access to a private boat ramp, seaside privacy, and it is surrounded by beautiful trees. Hand built rustic cabins line the coastline. Each has it's own unique name. Folks have been escaping to Whiskey Creek Beach for generations as a way to unplug from the hustle and bustle of todays busy lifestyle. With names like "Halibut Hole," "Codfish Cottage," and "Captain's Quarters," the charm is undeniable. The waves crashing over a pebble beach lull you to sleep, and the salt in the air wakes you in the morning. A private boat launch is very difficult to find anywhere on the sound. The boat launch at Whiskey Creek Beach is the only one between Fresh Water Bay and Sekiu. Whiskey Creek Beach is a place you really must experience it in person. In a busy world, full of demands and obligations, it is rare to find a place so close that feels so far away. This truly is PNW living at it's finest.
