Freshwater Bay (Washington)

Freshwater Bay is a bay upon the Strait of Juan de Fuca on the northern coast of the Olympic Peninsula, 10 miles (16 km) west of Port Angeles off State Route 112 and 3 miles (4.8 km) north on Freshwater Bay Road.

Launching and retrieving of boats can be especially difficult at low tide, as the bay is very shallow, leaving the small paved ramp completely exposed.

A small public beach is accessible surrounding the boat ramp, and at low tide extends significantly northward into the bay.

The Spanish Explorer Manuel Quimper named the bay Ensenada de Davila in 1790.
