We parked here so we could walk Marginal Way. The fee was $6 for two hours. It allowed plenty of time for our walk and then we did a bit of browsing in the shops. Although we didn't eat there seemed to be a variety available. Public restrooms were available and were clean.

Just a short walk over the bridge from our hotel is a myriad of shops catering to every taste. Clothing, jewelry, nautical gifts, and great food. They also have a decadent candy store. I'm never disappointed and always manage to find something to buy, lol.

Love love love walking the cove! The little shops are quite interesting and the sound of seagulls flying overhead fit right into the scene. The candy store, the view of boats, the sounds of the ocean are fantastic!

I will definitely visit again. Perkins Cove is a great place to spend the day. Take a scenic route walk on Marginal Way then back to Perkins Cove for quaint shops, restaurants and a sunset sail. Just wish parking was free.

Little bit of everything here. Places to eat, shop or take a boat tour. Restaurants are right on the water so the views are post card. It does cost to park here or there is parking up the street for less. There is a cool walk over bridge here... should a boat come along and want to get into the... More

Perkins Cove is worth visiting. The shops are quaint and the restaurants are great. Parking can be a problem.

Many nice restaurants with views either of the Cove or of the ocean. Simply a good place to have a seafood lunch or dinner.

Beautiful place, but not for folks on a budget. Luckily we walked here from our hotel, otherwise parking is a nightmare. Bring your camera, but eat and shop elsewhere.

No matter what time of year it is, Perkins Cove is beautiful. The harbor is beautiful, the restaurants are great and there are some cool shops. Summer can be rough with the crowds. Traffic can become intense. Be prepared for that, but you will enjoy your time.
