Top Parks in Washington

My advice is to pack a picnic! There are great spots to sit and enjoy your meal without spending extra money on food

I've noticed that cell service can be spotty in some areas, so grab a park map or download one before you go. I found myself wandering a bit without knowing where to go next!

Definitely try to visit during the week if you can. Weekends can get super crowded, and it's way easier to find a good spot on the beach if you go on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Trust me, it's way more chill!

Don't forget to wear good shoes. Some paths can get rough and muddy, especially after rain. I learned that the hard way on my first visit.

Wear comfortable shoes because you’ll be doing a bit of walking. The pathways are pretty spacious but can get uneven in places.

I recommend bringing a picnic! There are lovely spots to relax, and you can enjoy the views while saving some cash on lunch.

I recommend bringing snacks and some water. There aren’t a ton of nearby shops, and I didn’t see any food stalls inside the park. A picnic can make the visit much better.

I suggest visiting during the late afternoon, like around 4 PM. That's when the light is just perfect for pics and the park isn’t super crowded. It really made my stroll more enjoyable!

My advice is to check the tide schedule if you want to explore the beach area. I missed out on low tide and the sand was basically non-existent!
