Regardless of whether you would classify yourself as a ‘boatie’ or not there is plenty to keep you occupied. Gig Harbor is located near to Tacoma and Seattle so you can explore further afield if you wish. It is a small harbor town that is nestled in on the water’s edge within a safe and welcoming community.

Outside of the town, there are nature walks and nearby lakes which can be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. To help you decide where you want to be based we’ve pulled together the top Vrbo listings from across the town, marina and surrounding area.
