Trip report:
We walked around the north end of the point and towards Port Townsend. We saw a sea lion on the beach and one swimming near the shore. We saw a whale offshore and heard it come up to breathe on occasion for an extended period of time.

The proper name for the body of water is: Port Townsend. Check a navigation chart.
The body of water was named before the town existed.
