This is a nice beach, quick easy access from the parking lots near the restroom. There's lots of driftwood and stuff that washes up into the cove here. Watch where you step as some of the smaller rocks and wood pieces could trip you up if you're not careful. Don't come down to the beach when there's a lot of wave action or a sneaker warning. That said, it's a fun cove to explore with good views there are beautiful cliffs Pacific Ocean. This area gets great wave action, which you can more safely view from the parking lot on jetty road to the side of the piles of driftwood. It's a fun place to explore with your camera as well, and there are plenty of picnic tables and grills nearby as well as a restroom at across from the first parking lot.
There is a $10 day use fee here, and to make sure to pay it because they do check and I've seen them leaving tickets for cars that didn't pay. In lieu of the $10 days fee, you can purchase a Washington discover pass for $30, which is good for entry into every Washington state park for the year (including this one). This is a far better deal. You can purchase both the day pass and the discover pass from the small building at the entrance station (when the building is open) oar from a kiosk nearby. If you purchase from the kiosk, the receipt that prints out is prone to fading as the year goes on. The ranger in the building has told me you can go into the building or any other building or visitor Center at another state park and switch out your kiosk discover pass for a normal one. You just need to make sure you save the receipt, have it to exchange and it's legible.
