Located along Bainbridge Island’s eastern shoreline just west of Highway 305, Manitou Beach and Murden Cove form one of the island’s most picturesque residential corridors. Centered around Murden Cove and Manitou Beach Drive, this area offers a peaceful setting with sweeping views of Puget Sound, Mount Rainier, and the Seattle skyline.
Homes in the neighborhood line gently curving shoreline roads, including Manitou Beach Drive NE and NE Murden Cove Drive. Many properties enjoy water views or shared beach access, while others sit just above the shoreline with elevated outlooks. The area features a mix of beach cottages, mid-century modern homes, and newer residences designed to capture natural light and scenic vistas.
In addition, residents enjoy easy access to Manitou Beach, where a public access point with parking makes waterfront time simple and convenient. The calm waters of Murden Cove are ideal for kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, and beach walks. The neighborhood is also known for its quiet mornings, iconic sunrises, and frequent wildlife sightings along the shore.
Despite its coastal feel, Manitou Beach and Murden Cove remain well connected. The area sits just minutes from Rolling Bay Center, downtown Winslow, and Highway 305. Because of this, residents enjoy a balance of peaceful living and everyday convenience.
Overall, Manitou Beach and Murden Cove offer a relaxed island lifestyle defined by scenery, walkability, and proximity to town. For many, it feels like a coastal retreat without feeling removed from the rest of Bainbridge Island.
Fun Facts
Murden Cove has a layered history. A concrete block visible in the bay once served as the base for a World War II radio tower. The area was also used for boat building in earlier years. At one time, Murden Cove was even proposed as the western terminus for a cross-sound bridge connecting Seattle to Bainbridge Island. The cove was named in 1856 and appears on historic maps under several variations of its name.
