Good to know
Bring kids for tide pools and wildlife
Children can find shells, crabs, anemones, and jellyfish in the rocky intertidal areas.
Visit for sunset or sunrise
The park offers excellent views of the Olympic Mountains and sound, especially at golden hour.
Reported good with little kids
Visitors often mention shallow or calm water. This is what reviewers report, not a safety assessment.Mentioned by 3 visitors · 2018–2026
Wear water shoes or sandals
The beach is rocky rather than sandy, so footwear protects against sharp surfaces.
Expect train noise nearby
Train tracks run along the south side and occasionally create noise and smell.
Check location before arriving
There are two Richmond Beach parks; ensure your GPS directs you to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, not the residential area.
