Beach hazards

Ocean swimming is not recommended due to unpredictable currents and rip tides. Sand cliffs and dunes are unstable and may be hazardous to walk on. Please only use designated trails and beach access points.

Driftwood structures and caves may appear inviting but are unstable and dangerous. For your safety, please do not climb, hang on, or construct them at any time.

Washington's coastal parks are dynamic and beautiful. They are also potentially dangerous! Learn about beach-specific hazards and how to stay safe when you go to play or camp at coastal parks on our Beach Hazards page.
