Seahurst Park

Puget Sound and Islands

updated 3 months ago

Seahurst Park offers a pleasant coastal escape with extensive shoreline hiking. An ice cream kiosk is available at the end of the seaside path, a welcome amenity noted on June 14. Parking is generally ample, though spaces immediately by the beach and playground can be limited. Reports from January 17 indicated some muddy sections on the forest trails, but not severe enough to be problematic. Birdwatching is a highlight, with numerous species observed, including hummingbirds and bald eagles. The park's interior trails feature native plants alongside areas dominated by ivy.

Parking is generally ample, though spots closest to the beach and playground can be limited, especially during peak times. As of June 14, parking was ample on a Sunday afternoon, but the upper lot was less full than the beachside area on a weekday morning around May 25.
