Located just off State Route 104, just north of the Hood Canal Bridge, this sandy shoreline is popular with kayakers, paddle boarders and beach walkers. This park also offers a small wetlands area for excellent local wildlife and birds viewing. Shellfish lovers will enjoy low tide harvesting during clam and oyster season, which make it a popular site for locals. If you are looking for a small get-away, this little secluded park is just your ticket to an outdoor adventure.
This park has unsheltered picnic tables that are available for first-come, first-served. There is one portable toilet located in the parking area.
For no additional fee, primitive hand-launched watercraft is allowed (kayaks, paddle boards, wind-powered vessels). No docks are available.
