Even in summer months you can't depend on the people that are supposed to open them by 7am open them when the feel like it. A lot of time they don't empty the garbage and it overflows onto the ground and either the wind blows it all over or the birds get it it. The park is great for walkers, and dog walkers. It's a very nice park but the parks dept should maintain it a bit better for visitors especially the restrooms.

The gods and goddesses of nature and coincidence placed this as the first spot with a lavatory upon our path. Windy as hell with the storm, but soooo awesome. Boat launches, proper lavatories, plenty of space, dramatic views, picnic areas, etc. Great spot indeed.

I want to first say that I grew up in Southern California so Chance a la Mer is a bit underwhelming…read morepark but it does the job if you're staying close by and want to be close to the water. Parking is super accessible. The great thing is that you can drive your car straight onto the beach or you can park by the gift shop and walk over. You'll find a bunch of people sitting outside of their cars and their food. It's quite windy here so if you're into flying kites, you'll love it here. You can also see people riding horses here too. Overall the beach is kind of lackluster and the water is pretty dirty.

Not sure if this is the access point I'm thinking of but the one I'm thinking of is exactly off of…read moreChance A La Mer, with a gift shop on one side, parking, and a bathroom structure that looks really promising from a distance, an actual concrete structure with roof and all, but is actually disgusting and low-class when you get up to it, with some of the doors boarded over, a huge wait, and very filthy stalls. We had to just leave. The stalls looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 24 hours at least, and this was on a holiday weekend which really merited more attention to the bathroom sanitation. Look after your beach bathrooms Ocean Shores!

We took the boardwalk and trail down to the viewing platforms. There wasn't much going on that day,…read morebut it was a nice leg-stretcher while passing through. They'd recently mowed the paths and next to the boardwalk, however a little snake made his way up onto the boardwalk to sun. He stayed put so we could sneak past, but you could tell the growth under the platform was high and pushing up through the boards making it easy for him to come up from below. The rest of the path was uneventful. A lot of robins, but no migration activity or anything of significance to view at this time. Decently large gravel lot at the trailhead, as well as a vault toilet.

For whatever reason we had a lot of trouble getting into any type of restaurant. We visited seabrook which is a 30 minute drive and it's worth the visit. If you choose to come know that it will be cold and windy in the middle of July. We thought it would be warmer, poor planning on our part. We don't plan on coming back . You're not missing anything by not coming here. Lots of cute deer roaming around so if you choose to, drive carefully.

We were passing through after visiting Olympic Park and looking for a hiking spot in the area. Lake…read moreSylvia seemed like a possibility so we stopped off last Sunday around 10am. There were a few hikers there, but otherwise mostly those preparing to fish. We didn't visit the camping section, but they've got a decent sized day-use area with a good amount of parking, tables, and restrooms. We took the forest loop trail that leads from the lake along the stream through the forest and back around to the day-use, about 2 1/2 miles. There are sections of the trail that are simply gorgeous, and other parts not quite as pretty. But the trail is pretty fun, ups and downs, winding with steps and bridges. While the path is completely passable right now, it was very muddy in many places. A bit precarious at times, as some of the soupiest, slickest spots happened to be on inclines and declines. You'll definitely need waterproof shoes and prepare to get dirty, but Sylvia is good for a quick hike. They've got some interesting educational info along the trail too...and the lake has a very peaceful feeling.

If you have children the walk in spots are best because the are closest to the swimming and playground and bathrooms!

Fishing is aloud (no motor I believe) Dogs on leash Swim at your own risk Drinks aloud (I think ... I see lots of them) Also a group camping site that is at the top of a hill and looks down at the water. Easily fits 8-10 tents and has a covered shelter ! Perfect for a family reunion camping trip and honestly a beautiful place to even consider as a wedding venue.
