About
This public ocean beach in Washington sits about 4 miles from Seattle. It offers accessible access, so it works for visitors who need an easier approach to the shore. Swimming is not allowed, which makes it a spot for time on the sand rather than in the water. There is no fee. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. A nearby weather station records typical average highs of about 76 to 77°F in July and August, with lows near 57°F and only around six wet days a month. The rest of the year is cooler and wetter, with December and January highs in the mid-40s and rain on most days. The closest outings are on foot. Green Lake Trail is about 2.7 miles away, Piper's Creek Trail is about 3.1 miles, and the Burke-Gilman Trail is about 3.4 miles. For climbing, the Art Building lies roughly 4.5 miles off.
