Time your visit around tides
Low tide reveals tide pools with starfish and sea creatures, but clay becomes slippery; high tide transforms.
Secure food from wildlife
Raccoons and squirrels aggressively raid unattended food and trash, so store supplies in sealed containers or tents.
Bring a Discovery Pass and cash
Entry requires a Washington Discovery Pass; camping costs $52 per night for dry sites, with only two sites offering hookups.
