Seaside
Sauna
Bringing good people together.
Port Townsend's community sauna and natural cold plunge — where fire, cold water, salt air and community meet.
Slow down and step into the heat
People have been enjoying heat and cold for centuries - for good health and for connection. Somewhere along the way, we fell away from this ancient practice.
Now it’s time to bring it back.
Seaside Sauna is a place where you can sweat, shiver, de-stress and connect.
The elements are here. So are your people. Welcome to Seaside Sauna.
FAQ
-
Seaside Sauna is located in Point Hudson, right next door to the Commander’s Beach House, near downtown Port Townsend.
From Monroe St, turn into Point Hudson, just uphill from the skate park. Take your first left turn onto a gravel road at the SEA Marine boatyard (please drive slowly to keep down dust). Continue one block and take your first right turn into a large parking lot. Look towards the sea and you’ll find Seaside Sauna.
Alternatively, drive into Point Hudson and turn left after the RV Park. After the Commander’s Beach House, turn right and proceed into a large parking lot.
