Point Whitney Tidelands

Point Whitney Tidelands is a public beach in Washington, sitting about a tenth of a mile from the small community of Bees Mill. The site offers restrooms and accessible access, and there is no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on enjoying the tidelands from the shore.
