1st Avenue South Bridge Boat Launch
About
1st Avenue South Bridge Boat Launch is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 2 miles from Boulevard Park. The site has parking and charges no fee, but swimming is not allowed here, so plan on using it as a launch and shoreline stop rather than a place to get in the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. A nearby weather station records typical July and August highs around 77°F with only about four wet days a month, while winter months typically bring highs near 50°F and rain on most days. The closest outing is the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trail, under a mile away, with the Green House Trail and Ninebark Trail each about 2 miles off. Climbers can head to Seattle Urban Climbing, roughly 6 miles away.
