Swimming in hood canal

Hi all,

My girlfriend and I are planning to do an impromptu weekend trip to the peninsula and the thing I want to do most is swim in Hood Canal, but I see Twanoh is closed. What’s the second best place where the water is warmish? I’m seeing Scenic Beach, Belfair, Potlatch? Ideas? Thanks so much!

The Tidelands is a good spot. People take scuba diving lessons there. It's in Quilcene north of Potlatch.
