The story of John Wayne Marina is as captivating as its setting. Constructed in 1985 on 22 acres generously donated by the John Wayne family, the marina is a tribute to the legendary actor’s vision. John Wayne himself was a frequent visitor to Sequim Bay, navigating its waters aboard his family yacht, the “Wild Goose.” He dreamed of a marina gracing this scenic bay, a vision that was brought to life by the Port of Port Angeles after his passing. Today, under their stewardship, the marina flourishes as a testament to his legacy and love for the sea.
John Wayne Marina boasts an array of facilities designed to cater to all needs. For boaters, it provides both permanent and guest moorage, ensuring a welcoming harbor for vessels of all sizes. Comprehensive marine services are readily available, alongside essential amenities such as showers, laundry facilities, and banquet spaces perfect for events. Public boat launch ramps offer easy water access, while the fuel dock provides both gas and diesel. Beyond boating necessities, visitors can enjoy public beach access and charming picnic areas, making it an ideal location for families and outdoor enthusiasts. And for those looking for a delightful dining experience, the renowned Dockside Grill is conveniently located on-site.
