This is a nice park, but if you are expecting city park amenities, lower your expectations. The beach part of the park is small -- a couple hundred meters by 30 meters. The shoreline is cobble -- 1-2 inch round rock. This is backed by a berm with a wide path. Behind this is a large beaver pond. There are no picnic tables.
People were buiding fires on the beach, and there is lots of driftwood to burn or sit on.

There’s a great path among the rocks and barnacles, which locals have cleared and maintained so that you can get down to the mudflat without hurting your feet or killing sea creatures. To hike from here, park at the upper parking lot, and walk back up the road and cross it to reach...
