Nothing like walking along the beaches of the PNW and seeing otters, seals, and eagles. Beautiful views across the Sound to Seattle, Everett and the gorgeous mountain ranges on a clear day. There's the beach entry and then the wood trail from the south. Both are easily accessible but the beach has more parking. I'm still awaiting the day we walk and there's orcas swimming by with some humpbacks. read more

I love this park and lighthouse! The view is amazing of the mountains and of Puget Sound and if you are here at the right time you can see the big cargo ships making slow, gradual turns further into Puget Sound as they are heading to the ports of the larger cities off from the Sound like Seattle or Tacoma. It's also quite peaceful and just a great place to chill out. The beach is pebbly but it's still beautiful. In fact it may be even more beautiful because it is pebbly. I don't know if it's still there but there was a structure made out of wood probably a few beach combers made and it was cool to take a peek inside there too. Anyway I love Puget Sound and have seen it from all kinds of different angles but I think this spot is one of my favorites if not my favorite at the top of the list. The lighthouse is cute, a nice white painted building with red roof. Not terribly tall or towery like some lighthouses but beautifully maintained regardless. Definitely a stop to make if you enjoy lighthouses and absorbing the water and nature of Puget Sound. read more

Point No Point Lighthouse & Park - I edited and filtered this photo for a sort of analog/retro look. At least that's what I think of it while approaching the lighthouse. - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Hansville, Washington

Decided to drive up to this lighthouse while visiting the nearby charming Scandinavian town of Poulsbo. This is the oldest lighthouse on Puget Sound, built in 1879. It marks the hazardous Point No Point shoal and north entrance to Puget Sound. There is a nice size beach across from the parking lot. The lighthouse grounds were gorgeous this time of year with all the red hot poker plants in bloom along the rock wall, from the beach all the way down to the lighthouse. There were quite a few driftwood art pieces along the path up to the lighthouse, including a bench, ball, giraffe, dolphin, seal, whale and horse. Overall we enjoyed the time we spent here...so beautiful and picturesque. Would definitely recommend. read more

You haven't really been to the Point No Point Light Station until you've spent the night there. We recently booked two nights at the Keeper Maggs House adjacent to the lighthouse keeper's duplex. The small, one-bedroom cottage is well equipped and immaculate. The bed was dreamily comfortable. And, when the sun goes down, everyone else leaves! Can it possibly get any quieter than just two people walking the beach all alone? Watching shipping traffic over breakfast is a nice way to start the day. But it only begins there (as it should). The sandy beach is a front-row seat to some of the best birding in Puget Sound. Rhinocerous Auklets, thousands of Bonaparte's Gulls, Parasitic Jaegers, a Peregrine Falcon, Belted Kingfishers, tons of songbirds and waders in the adjacent marsh. Marsh? Yes! While the front windows overlook the beach and Whidbey Island, the rear of this charming cottage overlooks a fabulous wetland, backed by a forested ridge. There's a short hiking trail (90 stairs) and endless beach walking. What it has: A small library (lots of best-seller thrillers, and surprisingly short on natural or cultural history volumes), wi fi, a television, a fantastic tangle of wild blackberries out back, a very serviceable kitchen, great views, off-street parking and quiet-quiet-quiet. What it does not have: Annoying neighbors, flashy attractions, anything tension-inducing. At night, the only human-produced light is the triple flash from the neighboring beacon. Be prepared to bring your own groceries, because the small store and cafe in nearby Hansville has limited options (but an ample supply of cold adult beverages). Check out the nearby home, crafted from the bridge of a 1943 tug! read more

What a beautiful park!! Not large at all, but plenty to see. Great, quiet area surrounds the area. Sign says a whale watching area, but we didn't see anything. Worth the drive!! read more

Point No Point Lighthouse & Park - A beautiful early evening photo of Point No Point - Landmarks & Historical Buildings Near Me - Hansville, Washington

Not much out here, so this is one of the highlights and things to check out when in the area. Visiting family nearby, we had a lovely morning here. The lighthouse and surrounding area is beautiful, very well maintained and peaceful. The beach and views are endless and breathtaking, perfect place for a walk. Plenty of free and easy parking, beautiful. read more

The Point No Point Lighthouse, built in 1879, is one of the oldest lighthouses on the Puget Sound. It helped ships navigate around one of the last points on the peninsula before they reached Seattle. The point narrows substantially at the tip and is surrounded by steep drop-offs. This makes it a great place to fish because there is access to deep water from shore, regardless of the tides. There were many fishermen here even though it wasn't the Fall salmon season yet. It looked like a great fishing spot, but it did not look feasible for water sports. The geography of the point created a washing machine-like tide movement that was throwing distance from shore. I would not venture out there unless I understood the tides and was comfortable being pushed out to the middle of the Puget Sound. The point is also a great spot for views of the Puget Sound. There are 270 degree views of the Sound to watch ships, natural landscape, and - although we didn't see any - whales, if you are lucky and there at the right time of year. read more

Visited the lighthouse yesterday, with the clear skies it was a great day to visit. Amazing views from the beach can be had here. A great place for a long leisurely stroll. If you have a dog, i would advise bringing him/her. We observed lots of families with their pets playing along the shoreline. A few picnic tables are available near the free parking area. Bathrooms are available as well. read more

My wife and I visited here for the first time on what was a gorgeous day yesterday. The views from the beach amazed us. You can see Mt. Rainier, it looked like Mt. Baker, and other volcanoes and peaks I couldn't name. I believe you could see Whidbey Island and out towards Port Townsend and a bunch of other places. Of course we took photos in front of the lighthouse. We didn't go into the shop/museum or whatever it was. We plan to go back. A bit later I'll upload some of the photos we took. Another great place to visit we're lucky to have on the Olympic Peninsula. read more

This is one of my favorite beaches in the area. There's sand! It's a great place to swim, walk, have a picnic, or just lounge in the sun. I love the driftwood structures and how they are different every time, the sound of the birds in the adjacent wetlands, and watching the sun set behind the Olympic mountain range. It can become pretty crowded, especially during the summer, and parking is limited. However, the southern part of the beach tends to be a lot more secluded. Just be sure to watch the tide if you decide to venture to the southern part of the beach or be a strong swimmer. You can also rent the lighthouse keeper's quarters and stay overnight! How cool is that? Very cool. read more

the view is abt par for central Washington; the prettier stuff is up north. The beach is okay quality, but the rather classless folks running around and repulsive fisherman ruin the atmosphere. You could stop by ig, but certainly not my favorite. read more

This is a beautiful beach and lighthouse. We see a lot of Seals and we have also seen Orcas. Be sure to stay till sunset. The views are amazing! read more

A beautiful place to visit. Many times you can see sea life while visiting. Also eagles. Very small parking lot so difficult to find a space to park in the summer. But worth the visit. I live nearby and visit almost daily. It refreshes my soul. read more

One of my favorite places to go with the family. We have always been there when it wasn't crowded, so parking wasn't an issue. Amazing views!! The girls love collecting shells, building sand castles, and flying their kites. There are these cool driftwood huts that various people have built. Twice now we have seen seals playing very close to shore for at least 45 minutes at a time. The dogs love it here, definitely a great place for a picnic! read more

I love this place. It has a nice long beach, a small lighthouse, and views of Whidby Island, Mt. Rainier and boat traffic. Not much nearby parking so on nice days try to get there early. read more

I enjoyed my first trip to Point No Point. It was a foggy day and was rather chilly but it made for a nice cool atmosphere. The shore was very clean and I love the fact it is dog friendly. We even saw seals in the water. Will definitely be making another trip when it's warmer in the summer! read more

I enjoy coming to this place alone or with family. Nice sandy beach to walk along when the tide is down and great place for a picnic and to lounge out in the sun on those sunny day's. The down side is the limited parking area, but if you don't mind a short walk you can park around the bend just before the beach/lighthouse where there is a boat access area. read more

Very nice location with a great view. Nice sandy beach with public access. Limited parking though. Fun for all!

Great place to walk! beautiful cliffs, a lighthouse. You can watch for whales, and occasionally see them, but they are not there constantly or on demand. There are also remnants of gun emplacements brought in during WW 2. A wonderful place to spend a morning or afternoon... and the kite flying is often very good. read more

The closest thing to an actual beach this area has to offer, it features nice views but the waves leave much to be desired. The water also has lots of ocean detritus floating in it which can make swimming unpleasant. read more

Nice and secluded in some areas. Beautiful beach and scenery. Definitely a go to spot.

My wife and I actually stayed a couple of nights at the Pt No Pt Keepers Cottage in April 2016. Cottage is historical and very comfortable. Some observations to others who might be interested: - Cottage rentals are managed by the US Lighthouse Society, ph 415-362-7255. - Popular beach/park area esp on sunny warm days. Cottage renters have four reserved parking spaces very close to the building. - The cottage is fully furnished with a kitchen stocked with lots of pots, pans, glassware, utensils, etc. You just have to bring your food. To that end there is an Albertsons store about five miles south, at the intersection of Hansville Road and Route 104. This intersection also features a gas station and several other shops and restaurants. Kingston Crossing. - The Point Casino, about three miles south of Hansville on Hansville Road, features a wonderful buffet, another sitdown restaurant, and yet a third sandwich deli area. A hotel is being built on the grounds scheduled to complete Fall 2016. Another gas station is nearby. -Hansville itself features Hansgrill, where you can buy supplies and enjoy a meal. - Side trips to historic Poulsbo and Port Gamble are well worth the time. - Finally, the cottage has a cable TV, and lots of excellent books, board games, and jigsaw puzzles. No one could be bored even if weathering a Puget Sound storm. read more
