Get Out On The Water
Take a beach day, go for a dive, go paddling or boating. No matter how you do it, jump on in! The water's fine.
With lakes, beaches, and the beautiful Puget Sound on our doorstep, a trip to the Pacific Northwest isn't complete without getting a taste for life on the water. Whether you want to kayak the Duwamish River, paddleboard in the Puget Sound, go scuba diving at Saltwater State Park, or just be a beach bum for a day, Seattle Southside has all your aquatic needs and more.
Kayaking/Paddleboarding
There's nothing quite like paddling along on the water, whether you're taking in the waters of the Puget Sound from one of our beaches or paddling on the placid waters of Angle Lake. With seasonal rentals available at the Des Moines Snack Shack and kayaks available for purchase at local outdoors supplier REI, you have options even if you dodn't bring your gear with you.
Scuba Diving
With an artificial reef at Saltwater State Park, there's tons of cool things to see below the waves, too! See a wide variety of sea stars, urchins, anemone, scallops, rockfish and ling cod that can grow up to five feet long! And don't fret if you didn't bring your scuba gear, because rentals are available from local diving supplier Eight Diving.
