Dining

The Port Angeles waterfront along First Street has good places to eat, with Toga's, along Hwy 101 into town, having a reputation for excellent soup and sandwiches. Downriggers and Smuggler's Landing, on the waterfront next to the Coho Ferry dock to Victoria, have good fish n' chips. In 2021, Smuggler's Landing was understaffed with slow service, while Downriggers had great service, good food and a better view.

To-Do
