We're updating our camping and moorage fees to continue providing great experiences for visitors amid inflation and rising costs. You will see a rate increase for camping stays booked for May 15 and beyond. Moorage fees will increase Jan. 1. Learn more here.
Searchlight Program
There are currently no future events scheduled.
Throughout the early 20th century, powerful beams of light illuminated dark waterways to track ships or targets for night practice. Come see a working 60-inch searchlight in action at Fort Flagler State Park! Learn how the advancement of electricity assisted the Coast Artillery Corps in their mission to protect Puget Sound.
This is a free State Park program, though a Discover Pass is required for parking. There is limited parking in front of the Museum and Park Office; we encourage carpooling. We also recommend bringing a lawn chair or blanket to sit in the grassy field around the searchlight for this 30-minute program.
