Southwest Brace Point Drive Street End
About
Southwest Brace Point Drive Street End is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 0.2 miles from Fauntleroy. It is a small street-end access point with parking, and there is no fee to visit. Summer brings the mildest, driest weather. At a nearby weather station, typical averages for July and August reach highs of 77°F with lows of 57 to 58°F and only about four wet days a month. June and September are also comfortable, with highs in the low 70s and around eight wet days. Winter is cool and frequently wet: December and January average highs of 48 to 49°F, lows of 36 to 37°F, and about 19 wet days each month. Spring and fall fall between those extremes, with highs from about 55 to 67°F and 12 to 17 wet days. The station sits at nearly the same elevation as the beach, so these figures are a fair guide to conditions here. For more time outdoors, the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trail is about 2.6 miles away and the Green House Trail about 3.7 miles. Cross Island Trail lies roughly 4.4 miles off. Farther out, the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Fort Ward Park is about 7.5 miles away.
