Set on Key Peninsula in the middle of South Puget Sound, Joemma Beach is a quick boat ride or drive from Olympia, Tacoma and the shoreline communities in between.
The park provides sheltered and unsheltered picnic tables. The unsheltered picnic sites are all available on a first-come, first-served basis.
The park has primitive tent spaces and hiker/biker sites. In addition, there are two Cascadia Marine Trail (PDF) sites, available only to campers arriving by wind and human-powered watercraft. All campsites are first-come, first-served.
Joemma Beach has one boat ramp and 500-feet of dock space. The docks are available from mid-May through mid-October, offering 30-feet of moorage at low tide. Boaters have the right of way to the docks.
