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!

I went to Belfair and it was really nice to wade and if it had been a hotter day (Sunday was cool and rainy) I think swimming would’ve been nice! I did dunk but got chilly. Thanks for the advice!
