Salmon Beach is a remote, unknown, and quirky neighborhood of 82 houses with 200 steps dividing it from the rest of the world. This special place was a gem for bootleggers in the 1920s and hippies in the late 1960s looking for seclusion. It is now home to many artists and those who enjoy solitude from the city limits.
