During the fall and winter months at Rest-a-While, you can still enjoy
the local flavors.
Check our oyster schedule for dates and times that our registered guests
can shuck their own limit on our private oyster beach.


Late October through November, the Chum Salmon begin to run. The canal
literally boils with salmon. You can watch them spawn in our creek or join
the other fisher men and women with a hook and line at the Hoodsport hatchery
just a few miles away.
The Hoodsport Winery is open for wine tasting throughout the fall and winter.
It's only a few miles away.

All through the fall and winter months, the crabbing is excellent. You can
crab from your boat or rent ours. If you're a land lubber, the public dock
in Hoodsport is a great spot to drop your pot!
Shrimp season begins the third Saturday in May. Make your reservations now!
Here at the park, you can do some eagle watching, rent a kayak, take a scuba
lesson, watch the salmon spawn, treat yourself to the unique seafood delights
in the seafood market, walk our nature trail or just kick back and Rest-a-While!
