Burfoot County Park
About
Burfoot County Park is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 6 miles from Olympia. The land unit is listed as Burfoot Park. The park has restrooms, and there is no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on a beach visit without going in the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Olympia show July and August highs around 78°F, with only about five wet days in each of those months. Winter is cooler and much wetter, with highs in the mid-40s and around 20 wet days a month from November through January. For more time outdoors, the Loop Trail is about 2 miles away and the Ellis Cove Trail about 4 miles. A little farther out are the Evergreen Beach Trail and the Organic Farm Trail, both under 6 miles from the park.
