The 200-foot public pier next to Anthony's Restaurant is open dawn to dusk for fishing (no license needed for pier fishing in Washington), crabbing in season, or simply watching the seal that's claimed the dock as their own. The small adjacent beach is one of the only public swim spots on the harbor — water hits 60°F by August.
