Pleasant Harbor Park
About
Pleasant Harbor Park is a public ocean beach in Washington, about half a mile from the town of Brinnon. It's a simple, practical stop: there are restrooms and accessible access, and there's no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on enjoying the shoreline rather than getting in the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to come, with typical July and August highs around 77°F and lows near 52°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Quilcene. Winters are much cooler, with typical highs in the mid-40s. The beach pairs easily with time on the trails and campgrounds nearby. Rhody Cutoff Trail and Maple Valley Trail are both just over 2 miles away, Mt. Jupiter Trail #809 is about 3 miles off, and Seal Rock campground sits roughly 3.5 miles from the park.
