Pro tip: This place gets packed on sunny days, but what many Seattleites don’t know is to time your visit with a very low tide (generally in summer). If it’s 4 ft or lower, you can walk a long distance from the northern corner of the park and find some great stretches of empty beach -1 and -2 tides begin to expose amazing sandy beaches about a 15 minute walk up the beach from the pond (walk north).

Great place to see salmon running in the summer and fall, and to catch glimpses of our local seal population. There’s also a Great Blue Heron nesting ground on the south side of the locks. Look up!
