Blakely Rock
Blakely Rock rises just 20 feet above the water but its location in Puget Sound off Bainbridge Island is iconic. Located directly out from downtown Seattle, the rock is a contrast between nature and urban landscapes. The west side as an accessible spot with grippy coral making landing and launching easy. The rock is popular with both fisherman and scuba divers. Of course, timing for low tide will allow more surfaces to explore where creatures are clinging to and others have reported a shell beach during low tide.
