This place is what you get south on the OR coast and north on Vancouver Island, without having to travel to either. I've been to B'ham several times without stopping here, and I'll never miss it again.

It is a kid friendly park. It's great for summer wading into tidal pools and walking on the trails. We have also camped there with our kids although we didn't like the loud sound of trains passing on the tracks next to the campsites.

This park has some really great walks, beaches and sights/views. It is a family favorite, we easily spend the whole day with a packed lunch just enjoying the outdoors

It's a beautiful setting, make sure you've got good walking shoes on there's a steepish trail to the waterfront. if you go at low tide you can walk pretty far, but keep an eye out, you can get stuck if you aren't paying attention. There's a nice covered area for picnics and a stage.

The most beautiful beach in the area, in my opinion. Great tide pools to explore. Good walking trails. Excellent inspiration for artists.

The views and trails from Chuckanut ridge are quite spectacular. One can easily enjoy a few days of hiking here to cover all the trails.
