Small marina with multiple piers holding boats, surrounded by forested area and a graveled parking lot with no visible vehicles.
The Herb Beck Marina is located on the west side of Quilcene Bay, opening to the Hood Canal, south of Port Townsend and the Hood Canal Bridge. It’s a wonderful location for water-based activities, including swimming, fishing, clamming, shrimping and much more. The Quilcene area produces some of the finest oysters in the world.
Marinas typically need to separate slip holder parking from day-visitor parking, trailer areas, launch ramps, and secure dock access points. Modern facilities use barrier gate systems to enforce these zones automatically — allowing permitted vehicles through via transponder or keycard while logging all access events.
