Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, Shoreline

A wonderful place to come visit the Puget Sound. The beach is mostly rocky, but there are patches of sand to dig around in. The bridge across the train tracks gives a great view of the beach and provides a cool vantage point when trains come by. There's also a really cool playground up above the main parking lot, before you get to the beach, and a couple of paths and trails that go around the very top of the park.

This park is an experience. You have multiple options here; it's practically a choose your own adventure story. There's the bluff up above with breathtaking views of the sound. There's the beach below that's a bit rocky but quiet and peaceful. Or there's the park in the middle with lots of space to run and play. Just make sure you pick the right parking lot because it can be a bit of a climb.
