Need a beautiful break from the every day hustle? This is a breaktaking trail that includes a gorgeous hidden lake with a few waterfalls.. The path is clearly marked. The lush greenery, beautiful natural flowers and plants. Make it a must visit place. Enjoy!....

What a beautiful place. It is super pretty in the fall with all the trees changing colors. It’s like you’re driving into a fairy tale. The shore is fairly small but if you want a serene place to relax this is it

My family spent 3 days 2 nights at Larrabee State Park/Beach. Did you know its the VERY 1ST STATE PARK in WA? I didnt either and Ive lived in this area for 20yrs!Dozens and Dozens of beautiful hiking trails that take you all through this lush rainforest in North America. Most trails are easy going and enjoyable for all ages. Freshest air on the planet. Thats a fact. Moderate Temps between 65-75 during the day. Spectacular views of the Splendid San Juan Islands, etc, etc, etc. People are quiet and relaxed. Its a place to relax and enjoy the fresh outdoors and still be 20 minutes from town. If you wanna relax, go kayaking, fishing, hiking, biking, enjoy Gods Greenest part of earth, etc..., then come here. If you wanna be wildly loud, party like a fool, annoy your nearby campers and leave trash, go to CA! This is natures tranquility.

Nice drive along the coast that leads to the park. Got a feeling of rain forest not far from Bellingham. The walk to the beach was truly scenic, long rain forest trees leading to picnic area and then the train tracks under which a tunnel leading to the beach. Best part was seeing the freight train go through the state park blowing horn. Restrooms and picnic area available at every access point. Discovery Pass required to park inside the Park.

Always beautiful, always busy. Great beginner trails and low land for when the mountains are getting packed in with snow.

The first State park of WA State. It is small but beautiful. Pictures speak it all.

Campground sites are pretty big and located in a forest. Restroom has individual cabins that is a bonus. You can drop a boat at marina and park a car near by. Very convenient. Water was warm enough for swimming. Good place for crabbing. Train is rare and did not bother anybody from my family or friends.

Absolutely beautiful. Definitely a must see. The trails that lead up to it are short but beautiful. Being next to the tracks when the train comes by is also pretty humbling. Keep an eye out for any squished objects around the tracks!

We had a great time. Its four stars instead of five because of the multiple train passings in the night are very noisy and its a bit of a hike to the beach but otherwise a great place to camp. Kids bike the loops of the campground over and over. Some very spacious and private sites. Multiple bathroom buildings and many water taps.

Awesome park with a nice rocky beach to enjoy the Puget sound views. Plenty of space for social distancing and people were very respectful. I would come back here again as a perfect picnic spot along the world famous chuckanut scenic drive.

It is an easy walk to several beaches. Fragrance Lake is beautiful and secluded and a great place to go for a swim. Water is a little cold but not too bad. We brought our dogs here and they had a great time at the lake too!

Nice state park next to the beach with picnic tables, group party hut, children play area, lush green playing area, ample parking (discover pass required in the parking area). There is amphitheatre too in the park.

We went camping at Larrabee State Park over the weekend in July. The park has pretty much all outdoor activities available like hiking, camping, swimming, beach, etc. Everything is close to one another so it’s convenient and we were able to squeeze in multiple activities in just 2 days. The state park is next to Bellingham which makes it easy to buy supply (firewood, food, etc) for camping.The only drawback is the location of the campground. It is right next to the railroad & the train starts running early morning.

Beautiful campground. Clean sites, relatively private from neighbors. The beach access is great, so many cool tidepools to look at. Will definitely be returning soon!

Possibly the most beautiful state park out there! Beware of driving in from the south though if you are pulling a trailer - the road is narrow and full of rock outcroppings. We were able to pull our 30 trailer without issue, but it was a nail biter! The campgrounds were amazing and very family friendly. Great climbing rock, easy access to the beach and lots of places to explore. The train noise bothered some people in our group, and a few sites are pretty close to the road, but this park still ranks up toward the top of our favorites among the WA state parks!

A beautiful site, with salt water beaches, a variety of hiking trails, and a wonderful drive-to overlook to see the Salish Sea and San Juan Islands. Id give it 5 stars if there was better maintenance.

Larabee is a great park, lots of friendly families for kids to meet. The walk to the beach is great and it was a clean campground. The campground was t selling ice or fire wood due to keep covid exposure to a minimum we were told. Hiking up chuckanaut is a great way to explore and has some great biking trails for all levels. Only two negatives are the frequency of the train which isnt terrible but worth noting. However chuckanaut road is quite busy with many people at night racing their cars which can be extremly loud and ruin the point of camping. We will be back but probably wont stay as long next time.

Easy walking around. Lots of parking. Beach accessible. You can see train goes by, from the beach.

It is beautiful here. I am interested in camping next time. Great trails and views

Come see Washingtons first state park on the enchanting Chuckanut Drive. Its a huge park full of the Pacific Northwest classics...huge trees, rocky shores, hidden beaches, woodland trails, lakes, viewpoints. Plenty of diversity for everyone to enjoy & contemplate.

Our extra most favorite place on earth. The sunsets here are exclusively reserved for heart melting romance inducing love saving moments in life or whenever wifey says

This is Washingtons first state park. It has beautiful trails, grassy area, awesome views, access to beach, . IMO, not a good choice for camping as it is right next to the rail line. Very well maintained. You can do hiking as well. If you are coming from Seattle, make sure to take exit-231 from I-5 and come by WA-11. You would enjoy beautiful Chuckanut drive.

Great place to camp! Beautiful trails to the water and to various lakes. Nice tent sites with picnic tables and fire pits. Hear the train, but being forewarned it isnt so bad.

Loved it.We had a great time camping and playing g at the beach.

Really beautiful scenery and solid car camping. I’m a backpacker at heart but seeing all the trailers had me envious. Solid trip and super close to Bham

Such a great hike! Saw an owl and a epic sunset!

Its like stepping back in time for me. I remember camping there with my parents and watching music concerts in the little amphitheater. Beautiful and peaceful!!

Beautiful beach amidst scenery of lushgreen forest with breathtaking drive in Chukanut. This beach is part of Larrabee State park with many amenities like restroom, picnic shelter, grasslawns, open auditorium. Plenty of Parking which costs day pass or yearly pass(which also let you enjoy several other parks in state). Beach is rocky as well as sandy, choose per your convenience.

Camping at Larabee state park was amazing!!! We had an issue with a rude person, but the park ranger got that settled quickly and professionally. The atmosphere is beautiful, watching sunset with my love at the beach was breathtaking. The trains did come a few times, but we are locals and are pretty used to the train schedule. Our site had some drainage issues, but that is noted on the website. Our site had good privacy and the bathrooms were clean. We definitely will be coming back!!

Beautiful place !! Hiking, lots to explore. Parking was only 10 dollars for the whole day.

Great place for day trip. Camp ground can be noisy during the evening because of the trains. Lots of hiking trails. The 1.1 mile trail to the view point is possible for my 3-yr-old twins and certainly worth it!

Beautiful park with great sites. I really like tent site 24. It is on the side farthest from the train tracks and is next to a massive boulder that is very weathered. Beware that kids love to play on the boulder so you may have some camp neighbors near your site if you stay here.

Lovely flat walk with cute views

This is my first trip to Washington visiting family and I just enjoyed the scenic atmosphere in this state park. Coming from California, this was impressive to see. Beautiful....Could be a future relocation endeavor.

We usually camp in more remote areas but were meeting up with family. Sites are pretty close together for our tastes. Good facilities and great nearby hiking trails. The beach is fun. We had a walk in site and that was pleasant. Water spigot even for those and bathrooms close by. Due to the pandemic no firewood or ice sales. Road ro Bellingham under repair so have to detour.

Great park to go to if your in the area. Parking can be somewhat of a struggle if your new to the area but the views will be worth it 100%. Be sure to bring your hiking boots and some water!

One of my favorite beaches in Bellingham. Its no teddy bear cove, but if you want to skip the 1/4 more hike, Larrabee is an excellent choice.Expect a crowd

Larrabee State Park is truly a fantastic place to visit. The drive is just gorgeous, the grounds are well kept, the tide pools are perfect for people of ALL ages to enjoy, and the trails are beautiful. There’s a nice little playground, tons of hiking and beautiful views. Discovery pass required!

Super gorgeous area!!! Camped here for one night and it was a lot of fun. The only negative is the train that runs every couple of hours... even at night and in the early morning... it is so loud...

I think more people should visit that park.There so many ways to have fun for the outdoors activities.So if you like outdoors adventures you dont have to spend too much.

There is so much to explore here. Beautiful beaches, easy hikes, intense hikes, strolls. You can spend a day or 2 or just make a road trip. I would suggest....do it all! The best months april-october.

I was here for a visit and stopped to do some hiking. The park has some amazing trails! Cant wait to move to Bellingham so I can start enjoying the beautiful landscape!

Public camping area. Most were respectful of others and respected the 6ft rule. Trains are still storming through at all hours. Most Sites were full. Nice weather for a little camping, even with the train noise.

Beautiful view , huge park. Recommend it highly

Beach access. Frsgrance lake hike across the street. Cool rock

The campground is nice with a surprising number of hookup spots for a state park, and the bathrooms are decent for a state park as well.Unfortunately the rail line that runs right next to the campground gets a lot of traffic at night and they must be required to blare the horn when passing through Larrabee because I can assure you that you will be awakened by them.Otherwise its a great park with good trails and nice views.

Beautiful Place to hike and explore the beach. Stunning stretch of coast line to tide pool, and amazing sandtone cliffs.Not the best camping location as it is right next to the rail line, pretty steady flow of trains at all hours. It can also be pretty busy during the summer.But there is a big grassy area to have lunch if you come for a day trip.

Amazing location with peace, sea, hiking trails, trees and much more.

We hiked to Fragrance Lake. The facilities are nice. I recommend going early, as parking was full by the time we returned from our hike. The hike tip fragrance lake was beautiful. I highly recommend it. The switchbacks get a little monotonous, but you cant beat the walk around the lake at the end!

Great place for a short walk down a few trails. Great beach and place to just relax and enjoy nature.

Beautiful beach! We loved the view!

Have spent the last 2 weekends here camping and intending to spend more intermittently over the year I can say that this is an absolutely gorgeous state park with lots of trails to choose from! Theres something for everyone-whether its an easy hike along a gravel road, interurban trail to more moderate-difficult trails or mountain biking. Access to the beach, which is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, wildlife watching, etc. You have a lovely view of the San Juans. The campsite has a lot of noise, with the train going through 4-10 times or so in a 24 hour period and being right next to the road. The sound carries VERY well in this site-otherwise a 5 star place to go solo or take the family!

Excellent vistas. Great to enjoy the sunset

When our boys were little we used to drive up from Arlington to enjoy the sand, sun and tide pools. There is another nearby beach that is the only public accessible sandy beach this side of Jetty Island in Everett or Sequim or Vancouver Island. Camano Island has some sandy beaches on the Port Susan side, but they are private, gated access only.

Trees, trails, rocks and the Sound. A great sampling of some of my favorite components of the Pacific Northwest. Genuinely lovely.

Pretty little boat launch, no other amenities there

Second year camping here and its amazing. Be ware that there is a section of campsites with excessive train noise if youre a light sleeper. Access to the ocean, hiking trails, rock jumping, grocery stores, unique museums and a quick jaunt to the Whatcom falls has your entertainment covered.Theres no cell service (TMobile) so youre forced to just hang with your fam/friends and remember why you like them. Free blackberries for the picking in season.Very respectful mask usage. Super chill.

Tons of tide pools with crabs and critters. You just need to go at low tide. You walk along the beach for a ways to find your own spot. Definitely pretty and interesting rock formations.

Such a beautiful park!! The water was super clear... There was a Blue Herring eating sushi So much awesomeness

Larrabee has many hidden gems. The park offers hikes of varying difficulties and lengths. The beaches are beautiful and worth the drive.

Easy access to one of the most amazing beach at low tide is best. Plenty of moderate to difficult hike all have stunning views

Great park, super clean, will definitely come back. Train is a little annoying but bearable

I have not camped here, I have only spent an hour here so far, but cannot wait to go back. I parked in the lot by the amphitheatre and covered picnic area, then took the trail down to the beach area. I was stunned by the beauty I saw! The blue water, the beautiful rock formations, the changing leaves on the trees (I came here in October). I felt like I was standing in a postcard! I only saw three other people the hour I was here. It made me want to explore the other areas of this park, one hour wasnt even enough time for the small area I saw. Very clean, very relaxing, stunning beauty.

A great place for adults and kids alike. We went to find tide pools and were not disappointed.

The whole place + the drive. Amazing.Now I have to go back and see Fairhaven too after driving thru it.. Lol

Such a pretty park. Easy trails and fun rocks to climb on. Cool beach as well. Lots of picnic areas and a playground and stage.

I love listening to train at night. I only hear it 2-3 Imes a night. Beautiful park very well kept.

It brakes my heart to see someone review such a lovely place below a five. The views are excellent, picnic areas are lovely, ample trails.. I could go on and on. Would definitely recommend.

Not even going to knock off a star for the Midnight train going on and on. The bike and hiking trails are awesome!

Great park, beautiful beach. Perfect place for a picnic with the family.

Great Hike from cedar And pine lake trail to the lakes.and then to raptor ridge.view point. Its scary though feels like late June early July conditions in mid May.

Beautiful park, good amount of parking, beautiful quiet area. Will definitely return

Great place to go during the summer with friends and family. Amazing views.

Really nice beach. Worth walking down, especially with low tide

Not one of the best state parks in Washington State but it is good enough for communing with nature or just to have a whiff of the salty, fresh air coming from the ocean. The public restrooms are very surprisingly clean though. We did not see any sealife but we did see seagulls and red robins. Such a delightful visit!

Beautiful forest walks and hikes, beach access, and Rom-Com movie status lookouts over the bay. Its beautiful. Come prepared with a Discovery Pass ($30 annually) and you can park and explore the area until Larrabee closes at dusk.

Visited in the Evening. Not crowded. Easy little hike.

The views were amazing and we loved walking some of the trails. Points lost for living at an angle for a week - protip hard to level means a 12% grade.

Beautiful. We wish we had more time to visit.

Picnic area and easy walk down to the beach.

Gorgeous!! One of my favorite places in Bellingham - hands down.

Beach is awesome for wading and exploring. Fun tidepools and our little ones love the trains going by every once in awhile too.

Dont stay overnight unless you like being blasted with a 150 decibel train horn every hour.

Gorgeous coastline to explore with beach access, trails and amazing views

Nice picnic area and waterfront trails

Extremely noisy park. Small sites and water access requires the ability to hike.

Awesome, but no fire wood.

Such a fun place to explore! Low tide brings out all the cool creatures

Amazingly clean campsite with well maintained washrooms...campers were quiet and the camp grounds were great...there is firewood and ice on sale at the site The beach is within walking distance..only suggestion is to bring ear plugs for the train that runs through the park and audible throughout the night

Nice campground - well maintained and we scored free showers because the coin machines were broken (otherwise they are 50 cents) all facilities were clean! Beach is not accessible for a stroller but we managed anyways. Not much of a swimming beach but great for hunting and finding creatures during low tide! Hills are tough for bikes - we’ll be back

Beautiful campground setting. The train was very LOUD by our campsite.

Where the Cascades meet the sea, theres a park called Larrabee; when summer calls me to be free tis there I want to be.

Beautiful!!! Couldnt even hear the train as it passed by and felt totally at peace with nature heres a picture from Fragrance Lake

Easy walk to the beach and lots of walking trails. Beautiful scenery.

Great Beach! A little dirty, but good hiking and scenery.

Had a blastSome of the photos are of Deception Pass in Washington State

Great place to take the family. Theres a playground, a large grassy area to do what you like to do in large grassy areas, and trails to explore plus beach access. Usually very busy on nice days.

Great hiking and beach, although parking is limited. Especially while busy

The beach...and lots of trails (but tons of people)

Such a great getaway so close to town.
