About
This public ocean beach in Washington sits about 2 miles from the community of Dash Point. It is a beach for walking the shoreline rather than getting in the water: swimming is not allowed, and a fee is charged to visit. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. July and August average highs around 77°F with only about four wet days a month, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station in Tacoma. Several trails lie within a couple of miles, including the Upper Loop Trail and Ridge Trail, each under 2 miles away. Climbers can head to the Tacoma climbing area, about 4 miles off, or Point Defiance Park, a little over 5 miles away.
