The Hoodsport area offers incredible scenery, abundant wildlife and just about every kind of water recreation you can imagine. Public beaches north and south of town provide fresh, "off-the-beach" shellfish, including clams, oysters, and geoduck (though the last is both rarer and difficult to catch). In May, the much-beloved Hood Canal shrimp season commences, with limited but highly desired giant shrimp being pulled from the deep waters of the middle Canal.
Visitors to Hoodsport often travel further west on State Route 119 to Staircase, the southeast entrance to fabled Olympic National Park. Backpacking trails from Staircase fan out into the deepest recesses of the Olympic Mountain Range, offering hikers days or weeks of wilderness seclusion. No roads or commercial facilities exist anywhere within the interior of the Olympic National Park.
