About this map

The Toandos Peninsula dominates the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the small community of Coyle sits at the southern tip overlooking Fisherman Harbor. To the south, across the deep waters of Hood Canal, the settlement of Seabeck serves as a focal point along the Kitsap County shoreline. This area was a hub of recreation and community gatherings in the mid-20th century, evidenced by the large Conference Grounds at Seabeck and Camp Parsons tucked into Jackson Cove.

Coastal geography defines the landscape, with numerous points like Misery Pt and Hazel Pt marking the transition between Dabob Bay and the canal. The interior is drained by systems such as Big Beef Creek and Anderson Creek, while smaller beach communities including Miami Beach, Scenic Beach, and Maple Beach line the western edge of the Kitsap Peninsula. The presence of a Naval Reservation on the eastern shore of the Toandos Peninsula reflects the strategic military value of these deep-water Puget Sound inlets.
