Located on the west side of Bainbridge Island just north of Battle Point, Manzanita Bay is one of the island’s most sought-after waterfront neighborhoods. Known for its peaceful, protected waters and west-facing views, this serene stretch of shoreline captures stunning sunsets over the Olympic Mountains and offers a relaxed, nature-rich lifestyle.

Many homes in Manzanita Bay enjoy private beach access, low- to medium-bank waterfront, and deep-water docks, making the area ideal for boating, kayaking, and paddleboarding. It’s one of the island’s most desirable spots for moorage, with more docks and buoys than nearly anywhere else on Bainbridge. Even properties set back from the water are often on spacious, wooded lots—many an acre or more—offering privacy and a strong connection to the island’s natural landscape.

Residents of Manzanita Bay value its quiet, unassuming character. While it doesn’t have the bustling boat traffic or expansive open-water vistas of other areas, its calm waters and sheltered coves make it one of Bainbridge’s most tranquil settings. Access to the bay is part of everyday life here, whether through a private dock, a well-built trail, or the local Dock Street Road End public beach.

Quiet, scenic, and deeply connected to the water, Manzanita Bay offers an authentic Bainbridge Island experience—one defined by nature, community, and the simple joy of waterfront living.
