A kid friendly place, theres restrooms, snack shack, nearby parking lots, hiking areas are shaded and easy. A day pass is $10 and an annual pass of $30. Its nice to walk along the shoreline during low tide.
Very pretty place, very close to the water, the caretaker was a cool hippie dude, and knew alot about the place. The showers worked but weren't the best or the cleanest, and we were unaware of it being pretty much under Sea-tac airport, so it was very loud all night and day in our tent lol. Lots of cool sights, animals, and temperate rainforest! If it wasn't for the airplanes, you wouldn't be able to tell it's in the city! This was our first time camping in the USA, we came all the way from Edmonton
AB, Canada, and we enjoyed the park itself
I love this place. My mom and I go n hike the trail as often as possible. There are only a few hills, most of it is relatively flat, but SO BEAUTIFUL!
Great place to go on a walk along the water & enjoy the sunshine. Beautiful & relaxing state park.
I’ve pass this park so many times and after many years decided to stop and check it out. I love this place, there’s 2 different hiking loops to go one. There’s plenty of parking, restrooms are available and a playground for the kids. My favorite thing is the open beach area with nothing blocking your panoramic view. Don’t be like me and check this park out if you haven’t yet.
