Tramp Harbor Fishing Pier
About
Tramp Harbor Fishing Pier is a public beach on the Washington shoreline, about 0.8 miles from the town of Vashon. It's a straightforward stop rather than a route: the site has restrooms, parking and accessible access, and there's no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on a visit centered on the pier and beach rather than the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 77 to 78 degrees in July and August, with only about five wet days in each of those months, while winter brings highs in the upper 40s and frequent rain. For more time outdoors, Loop is about 1.7 miles away, and Judd Creek Loop and Judd Creek Trail are both about 1.8 miles off. Climbers can head to Point Defiance Park, roughly 8.4 miles away.
