Sunrise Resort on Hood Canal

Hood Canal's clear, life-rich waters begin right at Sunrise Resort's own access staircase — gear up, rinse off, and refill your tanks without leaving the property.

Perched on the shores of Hood Canal in Hoodsport, Washington, Sunrise Resort sits steps from some of the Pacific Northwest's most celebrated shore diving. The canal is known for gentle currents, interesting rock formations, and clear waters where divers regularly encounter giant Pacific octopuses, wolf eels, rockfish, and plumose anemones. Water temperatures average around 45°F in winter and climb to 50–60°F in summer. The resort is well-equipped for visiting divers, offering an easy-access staircase directly into the water, an on-site gear clean-off and rinse station, an outdoor diver's shower, and tank refill service — all without leaving the property. Boaters can take advantage of a private dock system with moorage for vessels up to 20 feet ($25/day), with trailer parking also available. Beyond diving, Sunrise Resort provides waterfront rooms opening onto sun decks and balconies, a waterfront cottage, a hot tub with canal views, a coffee shop, pizza, kayak and swim access, and pet-friendly facilities. It's a comfortable, low-key base for couples, families, and dive groups looking to combine Pacific Northwest diving with a relaxing waterfront escape.
