I’ve driven all around America, seen lots of things. This is one of my favorite places in the US. Beautiful, classic Puget Sound view. Tiny, low-key, locals-only community area to go walk along the water. If you come here please respect it and please don’t make a mess or make a bunch of noise. This is real Washington.

The view of the sunsets are wonderfulThe beach itself is beutiful if you like hunting for stones but I wouldnt recommend for a family on a picnic not as clean as I wish I was but its getting there keep carting out the garbage and it will become its potential...

A very nice rock beach with a lot to see. From graffiti art to the remnants of before all while accompanied by a gorgeous view. I personally prefer this location during low tide because you can walk much further along the shore with less difficulty. Walking further along the shoreline during high tide is a bit more difficult unless you either like getting your feet wet or climbing atop large rocks.

Homeless hangout. Water is deadly due to bacterial infestation. Kind of a dump. Dead sea lion on the rocks was cool to see though.

A very nice beach area. I dont know if they have a leash law there. Dogs were running around loose. No owner control. Otherwise, it would be a nice beach park. Please put your dogs on a leash. Thank you.

I love this beach you can walk for miles in the sand and find the leftover s of the sea in shell and long string alien seaweed pod, and watch other peoples dogs enjoy life and if you come early you can see the cutest rabbit. And on hot days find a niche in the rocks that is cool and breazy. From here the walk takes you to Bellingham latest park but I not going to tell you its a couple of miles along the sea.

Beautiful views of Bellingham Bay and some of the San Juan Islands. Its a very small park and there is no play equipment or picnic areas. Small beach.

Nice no-frills beach access. Typical Salish Sea beach - rocks, seaweed, warm water in the summer, trees to hang out in the shade.

Review №63

Awesome beach access and great views. You also catch the air traffic and some big boats coming into BCS. The one downside is the gravel parking lot which is riddled with massive potholes. Better experience if you walk in on the trail from other entrances.

Another of Bellinghams many fine parks, and probably the best beach in town. There are also walking and biking trails up the canyon and several parking lots serving the park.

Review №68

Love to take the puppy and look for agates. Great free place to be in nice weather! Easiest to park closer to marina all the way west until u hit gravel parking lot. Or theres parking along side road near the technical school. Nice people (locals) and a long beach that you can spend hours on a nice beach walk.....check the tides some areas farther up can impact your walk at high tide.

Usually uncrowded, quiet place to walk the beach and get some time with the waves and nature. Just dont swim here...the water is for scenery. Not interaction.

In Anchorage, alaska, I have Mt. Susitna -the great Sleeping Lady, to watch the sun slowly set over....and here in Bellingham (of all places!) I found this park. Squalicum Beach Park boasts nearly the same view -if you look at the mountains directly across from the parking area, you may notice that they look like the silhouette of a woman lying on her side, with her hair flowing.I couldnt believe it. Susitna has a sister and her name just may be Squalicum.
