Guide
Good to know
Clear day required for mountain views
The views of Mount Rainier, Olympics, and downtown only appear on clear weather days.
Perfect for dogs and quick walks
Located directly on a bike and running trail, it works well as a brief stop for dog owners.
Visit for sunsets, not swimming
This is a viewing spot with rocks and pebbles, not a traditional beach for extended stays or water activities.
Arrive early on weekends
Parking is very limited with only about five spots available, and the lot fills up during busy times.
Expect rocky terrain, not sand
The beach is entirely pebbles and rocks with driftwood logs, unsuitable for small children who might climb.
