Its a nice, short hike to the falls, which are just beautiful and super fun for the whole family. Its hard to describe but picture a clear stream with rocks and deeper pools that you can walk or swim across. When we were there, we ran into quite a few families, as well as travelers, many of whom appeared to be ready to spend much of the day there. Super chill and just gorgeous. Don't miss.

Goose Spit is surrounded by a lot of sand and mud bottoms, making it great for wading in the water. Access from Hawkins Avenue by car, or the Hawkins Greenway on foot. There is ample free parking beachside, fire pit rings, and porta potties. At the tip/end of the Spit is the Naval base and civilians are restricted from visiting. If you want nice views, head for the Nob Hill Greenway. The trail begins with a set of stairs near the beginning of the Spit which lead up to residential areas. If you keep going along the narrow blackberry trail, you get even wider vistas.

We came here with our large family group over the holidays and it was great for us. Rooms are clean…read moreand 2 double bunk beds. Don't tend to spend time there as there are comfy couches and a fireplace in the common area. Bathrooms are shared and pretty institutional with 1 shower each. No unisex. There was another family group and the kitchen is big enough with two stoves, fridges etc. (We think 1 stove is less hot than advertised so FYI) Bring spices, sharp knives and oil. Wifi is decent and really only available in common areas. There is a gym downstairs with weights, some machines and treadmill. They could use a chest press bench but tiny issue. Overall great value and pretty inexpensive for what you get.
