Tolmie State Park
About
Tolmie State Park is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 5 miles from Tanglewilde. It's a simple stop: the park has restrooms, swimming is allowed, and there is no fee to visit. Summer is the most comfortable time for a beach day. July and August typically bring highs around 78°F with only about five wet days each month, according to typical averages from a nearby weather station at Olympia. Winter is much wetter and cooler, with highs in the mid-40s and around 20 wet days a month in December and January. For a walk on the same visit, the Four Cedars Trail Loop starts just 0.1 mile away. A little farther afield, the William Ives Trail is about 2.4 miles off, and the Nisqually Estuary Boardwalk Trail and Andy's Marine Park Trail are both within about 4 miles.
