Mike's Beach Resort

Mike's Beach Resort in Lilliwaup provides a convenient boat ramp and beach access point for paddlers and boaters exploring central Hood Canal. The resort features a gently sloping boat ramp that allows easy water entry, making it suitable for kayaks, canoes, and small vessels. Multiple access points are available: the main boat ramp area, a staircase to the right of the pier, and an additional entry point near the fire pits with beach access via stairs. The sloping design of the ramp is particularly accessible for those launching directly into the water.

This location serves as an excellent base for exploring Hood Canal's scenic paddling areas, including nearby Quilcene Bay, Dabob Bay, Pleasant Harbor, and other popular kayaking destinations. The resort's beachfront setting offers additional amenities for visitors, including waterfront cabins and beach access for harvesting oysters and clams. Nearby camping options at Collins and Hamma Hamma Campgrounds provide additional accommodation choices for extended trips in the area.
