After a day of Kayaking in Boston Harbor as a family , my daughter age 4 and my son age 8, needed to use the restroom. We went to the public restroom at the Marina. My son ran to the car quickly to grab a towel. Upon his return he was accosted by a "local" women and her son. She told him he could not go in. I opened the door to let him in and the women yelled at me too. My children quickly finished using the restroom. Upon exiting the "local" woman asked "are you from around here?" "are you a local?" "because this is for locals only". Needless to say we will never go back to Boston Harbor despite living in Olympia for over a decade. We will stay in our town that is much more accepting of ALL people locals or visitors. This was such an awful experience. I will never return to this Marina/restaurant and I will never refer anyone here as well. If you are not a "local" you are not welcome in Boston Harbor per one of their locals own voice.

Goodish food, not excellent, but good. Great beer selection! Staff is friendly. Atmosphere congenial. Its a Marina open to the Public. Personally, I dont like sitting next to smokers while Im trying enjoy my meal, they allow this. No designated smokers area, dogs run off leash mostly, but this sometimes causes problems. The moorage is ok in most of the marina. Large wakes on the front dock can trash your boat, use plenty of large fenders! Its a area of lots of rainbows. Stay long enough youll see one for sure. Been going here for years, no disappointments.

These guys are fantastic. Great price on my favorite beer Fosters Dark. I lost my keys after a kayak trip to Hope Island and was stranded for a whole day and night. They were courteous and compassionate not like I was intruding on some private yacht club as I lurked around all grungy from my trip. My only complaint is for the Mothers Days brunch they did not allow seconds , the quiche was so delicious I wanted to take the whole pan! A great homey atmosphere, I recommend it for an outing for the entire family.

We drove all the way out here just because the place looked unique, intereating, etc. We were not disappointed at all! They have everything from food and alcohol to local gifts and locally-made crafts. I am looking forward to taking the Sandman Tugboat here for drinks next time they do it! I only subtracted a star due to the difficult parking situation. Next time I may arrive by water.

The staff were friendly and courteous when I called ahead to reserve five kayaks, and again on Saturday when my party of five showed up to paddle. The weather started out to be worse than expected that morning--the staff even gave us the option to cancel our reservation for no charge. I am glad we perservered because the weather improved and we had a great time.

Great views and great picnic like atmosphere very close to Olympia. After enjoying a very nice road (specially if you are a biker), you can sit facing the Sound having a beer, a glass of wine or a soda. And if you feel brave enough there is a small piece of beach where you can swim!

The people who rent the kayaks are rude and officious, and beware of canceling your kayak rentals - the cancellation fees cost MORE than the rental! Very frustrating to deal with, and not at all the stress you want clouding up what shoudl be a pleasant day paddling.

Great place to come with your family for a day at the beach has a snack shack that closes at 8pm, you can purchase adult beverages. Has a cover and a wooden deck. There is a boat launch nearby so that you can launch your boat into the Puget sound.

Comfortable marina with outdoor seating and great views. Enjoyed a fabulous bottle of french white wine at the Friday night beer-b-que. Bluegrass music, friendly locals, make this a choice getaway on the water.

We love coming here on beautiful days to walk the dock, and relax with a beer from the store and visit with friends at the picnic tables. You can rent kayaks or just admire the view of the Olympic Mtns

Great place to keep a sailboat; great place to stop or visit when cruising the south sound. Good selection of wine and beer.

Such a cool spot. Hang on the beach, bring your kids or the dog, grab a beer in the tap room. Top notch!

Big fun! Kayak/paddle board rentals, good food, outdoor seating, fuel dock & moorage close to Olympia.

Excellent bike ride from Olympia with a reward at the end; sitting on the deck overlooking the marina.

This place is an embodiment of the Boston Harbor area. Excellent freshly harvested sea food!
