About This Trail

Imported description

Users have reported that the beach is on private property. Between Marine View Drive and Puget Sound is where Marine View Park is located. The upper portion is level and there are gravel paths through the woods. The rest of the wooded area is a ravine and a steep bluff. The views of Puget Sound can be seen from some locations along the edge of the bluff. The beach is made up of gravel and sand. The beach between the bluff and the high tide line is very narrow.
