The area is large enough that even with two dozen vehicles in the parking areas, we were able to have about a 100' stretch all to ourselves for an hour. Trails lead from the parking areas out to the beach. There are porta potties, no services.

The view is beautiful, as always, but there is no longer a state park at Damon Point. the spit of…read moreland it was on is now an island, with the road that was once there washed out. For a few months this year the whole area was closed for erosion repair. But now it's partially opened. There is a narrow access to part of a beach, sandwiched between tribal land with a defunct marina on one side and a privately owned beach on the other. The beach is accessible only to those who can scramble down a several-foot drop from the abruptly broken-off road. To the commenter looking for lots of driftwood, drive north to the beach associated with Mora Campground in Olympic National Park. Go to the town of Forks, then drive west 30 minutes to the park, then a few more minutes to Rialto Beach. It has a parking lot, and the beach is right there. Last time I was there huge driftwood had taken over the beach, requiring visitors to clamber over logs. Lots of fun if you're able.

Enjoyed the trails here. We were searching out shaded trails when traveling through the area and…read morelucked upon Weatherwax. Nothing epic, but it was the only forest type trail system we found in the immediate area. We only took a portion, a bit more than the loop. Some winding & uneven walking surfaces...trails maintained and easy to follow. Street parking only, but wide enough you can get completely off the road.

Great park! Came here to camp for the weekend - stayed at the campground with some friends. Great…read morecamp site with lots of trees great for coverage from morning sun.

It does have a slight uneven onto the ground but we found places for the tents just fine. Beautiful campground. Tons of trees and nature. We took a drive through all 4 loops to stakeout more sites to try later. The staff were kind and knowledgeable. Found a nice hiking trail over by the front office booth. Also took the hiking trail to the ocean. The bathrooms we clean and tended to daily. There are 4 showers and 6 bathrooms. We will definitely be camping here again.

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.

My first time seeing surfers in Washington ocean…read more I especially was surprised by the SOFT sand in addition to sand dollars and pretty rocks found. To my surprise I also saw Marram grass before walking onto the beach. You do need a Discovery Pass to get in. There were enough parking. Not sure about the bathrooms.

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.

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.
