Point White Dock
About
Point White Dock is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 1.5 miles from the community of Enetai. It's a simple stop with parking on site and no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on enjoying the shoreline from dry land. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. Typical averages from the nearby Bremerton weather station put July and August highs around 77°F with only about six wet days a month, while winter months are cooler and much rainier. Several trails sit within about a mile, including the Veterane Trail and Peters Trail for hiking and the Gazzam Lake Main Trail for mountain biking. For an overnight, the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Fort Ward Park is about 2.6 miles away.
