Part of the Park is Closed
Posted on:
For your safety, the lower part of Cama Beach Historical State Park, is currently closed. The closure area begins at the Cama Beach Café and includes all road and trail access down to the beach as well as the full length of the historic beach—please do not attempt to access the closure area.
The Cama Beach Café is still accessible, and service will not be affected by this closure.
A portion of the aging sea wall has separated and fallen due to ongoing impacts from king tides, severe weather and winds. Staff are continuing to monitor the situation and are actively working to stabilize the remaining wall.

Cama Beach Cabins
From 1932-1953, this area was home to the Cama Beach Resort. The Resort had a general store, boathouse and fishing village-style cabins, which can still be seen along the shoreline. Once State Parks acquired the property, these cabins were used for overnight accommodations. However, significant septic and infrastructure failures led to the closure of the cabins and other buildings in the beach area of the park in February 2024.
Finally, in October 2024, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission voted to keep the cabins at the park permanently closed where they currently sit. This was a difficult decision following an involved public process. A long-range multi-phased comprehensive planning process is underway help inform decisions about future uses of the park.
For more information about the decision and the planning process, visit the Cama Beach Project Page here.
