Plan a Trip!

Penrose Point State Park and Joemma Beach State Park are two nearby state parks that are accessible both by land and water. Both boast extensive beaches, picnic tables, and a variety of hiking trails for kids and adults alike. It’s a great point of interest for day trips or for relaxation when sailing out on the water. A dock is available for larger boats, while the bay is quiet for smaller kayaks or paddle boarders. State parks overnight reservations can be made at Parks.WA.gov.
