Guide
Good to know
Best for quiet walks
This spot attracts fewer crowds than typical beaches and offers trail walks with views of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
Expect a rocky beach
The shore is primarily rocks and pebbles rather than sand, better for walking than swimming.
Visit at low tide
The exposed flats reveal moon snail shells, sea treasures, fish teeth, and possibly fossils.
Check parking lot status first
The lot has closed due to overcrowding, though overflow access from Titlow Park may be available.
Watch for tidal hazards
The tide changes significantly here, so plan your visit timing to avoid getting caught.
