Cider tasting at Dragon's Head is such an enjoyable experience. They have picnic tables, and don't serve food, so if you'd like to bring your own food you can. We have a picnic basket you're welcome to borrow for your time there if you'd like! I personally LOVE their Pommeau. Due to COVID they're limiting how many guests can be on their grounds at a time, so I'd recommend calling ahead to reserve a spot if that sounds interesting. https://www.dragonsheadcider.com/process/

May Kitchen + Bar has the best Thai food (in our humble opinion) in all of the Puget Sound region. When they are open they're always booked, and even with their takeout some nights they haven't had slots available. I'd recommend ordering ahead of time. And though it sounds strange, be sure to order the watercress appetizer. You'll thank me later. https://www.maykitchen.com/

Wild Mermaid (a restaurant right by the ferry) is open from 4pm until about 8 Wednesday - Saturday. Their dolmas are so good, as is their olive & mozzarella plate. You can sit out on the deck and watch the ferries come and go! https://www.vashonwildmermaid.com/

Craft cocktails & food from Ruby Brink is perfect for a beach picnic. We recommend Lisabuela Park (which has a beach) for a great West facing sunset view. https://www.therubybrink.com/

We love hiking Shinglemill Creek - it's about 3 miles roundtrip, and you start in the forest and end in a cove.
