The energy of wind and water braces your soul for the day. Claim a sitting log on the tiny swath of beach or perch happily on a bench or at a picnic table. Sip coffee youve brought from a local cafe or from home. Watch the gulls swoop, gaze out toward the ferry, count the cars as they march aboard. Listen behind you to the railway cars that clatter movement across their beachfront miles. Look above to the powerful sky father, stand strong on comforting sands of earth mother. You are welcomed by brother and sister waves. History and life and the breath of the natural world sustains you here. Come often. Be refreshed.Parking is available in a lot next to the shore, or you can walk from nearby on street parking a little up the way.This is a good beach for picnics or quick stops. Restrooms are open during park hours.

My favorite pastime is catching sunrises and sunsets. I remember as a little girl sitting on the rooftops looking at the Sun rise and looking at the sunsets, and I thought how beautiful the skies look when it turns into those multi-colored hues of orange, blue,and yellow. I thought how fascinating it is and how glorious it is. The Earth declares Gods glory and sunrises and sunsets are definitely a part of that.Bracketts Landing has beautiful sunsets and I finally was able to catch one, and it was nice There were so many people out social distancing of course, but a lot of us were catching that sunset. I went back a few hours later and I found children playing in the water, hearing their laughter makes life normal. I saw a train going by and a ferry coming in, one coming and one going and It was beautiful. If you have a moment perhaps Ill see you standing on the dock or on the shore during a sunset, at Bracketts Landing. :) Be safe and practice Love

Watching the waves crash on the rocks has been one of my favorite sights since I was a child. Walking along the beach, hopping from log to log reminds me of how much fun I used ti have going to the beach with my family growing up. A beautiful view of the mountains, Kingston, and a sunset if youre lucky really feels like Edmonds. The subtle smell of seaweed, the gulls calling, and the ferry making its noise fully immerses you in the experience. The cool breeze and the occasional splash of seawater when the waves are beautifully violent on the rocks made me smile with delight.Covid related: Everyone was exceptional with their social distancing and mask wearing. I didnt see anybody that refused to follow the guidelines.Edmonds is a wonderful city and our beaches are no exception :-)

We enjoyed visiting the park at low tide. The blue heron taking off with the ferry in the background was fun. You can walk out to a rocky viewpoint. I photographed the comet from here. This park is the entrance to one of the best underwater scuba diving parks in the country. My son and I used to dive here. Reasonable depth shore diving. With a big tank bottom times over an hour are possible. Night diving too. Lots of big fish and occasionally an octopus. The dive shop is just down the street. Good restrooms with outdoor showers.

This is a busy little park, but lovely to visit. You can watch the ferries come and go with seagulls flying by. Kites were flying today and kids playing in the sand. Had a nice walk out on the jetty and enjoyed the Puget Sound and mountain view across the water. Highly recommend Waterfront Coffee nearby. (Great chocolate banana bread.)

Nice little beach! Watch the ferry come and go. People watch, and enjoy the train passing by every so often! Lots of benches. Water might be a tad cold though!

Very scenic place/ semi rocky beach.Ferry landing area was a nice sight .Divers were there , but I couldnt find exact diving view spot .Theres Farmers market here every Saturday I guess, thats why there was a crowd.Beach was Crowded , no parking even after 20-25 minute wait.People were not wearing masks.We left from here & now going to another place for picnic spot .

This is a nice place to eat lunch and sit and watch the ferry come and go while scuba divers make their way out into the underwater park in front of Edmunds. Not a lot of parking.

We get up to Edmonds a couple times a year. Bracketts Landing is always a favorite. We love the ferry, the train, and the food. The people are great too.

Nice relaxing place to visit with breath taking views.

Great place to have a bite to eat while watching the ferry or a sunset.

Beautiful sunsets, and beach walks. Edmonds is such a wonderful place to explore. Hope you like my sunset picture.

I really enjoy coming here. I find it to be relaxing. To be clear, there isnt much to this area. But the views of the Puget Sound are amazing and I like the areas to walk with your spouse, friend, dog or even alone, if you would rather. The neighborhood directly above the Landing area is terrific too. The views of the sound one side and the beautiful homes on the other make for something to look for no matter where you look. Go and enjoy the views!

Beautiful sea life at low tide and lots of fun in the sun as the water came back in.

A great spot to decompress, get some nature, ocean and fresh air and people watch. Follow that by great happy hours near by.

Very quiet very soothing place to be. Nature at best.

Bracketts Landing has everything you want in a Washington State seaside park, except for ample parking. Stop by to enjoy the trains, marine life, seabirds, ferries and lots of sand to scoop and explore. Walking distance to coffee and donuts too!

Great place to go Scuba diving. You can expect to see very large long cod here because it is a marine sanctuary. Ive seen them up to 5 long and they are very large in diameter for their length.

Nice place to walk to view Olympic Mountains, central Puget Sound (Salish Sea), ferry to Kingston, and people enjoying downtown Edmonds.

Bracketts Landing is a great viewpoint to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and north to Camano Island. You can see Marrowstone Island and Freeland across the strait from Point-No-Point lighthouse. The water is calming.

A great place to watch the ferries, the divers and appreciate nature. My daughter enjoyed picking up shells from the water bank. It’s also a beautiful scenery for photoshoot. The restroom is so old and needs revamping but there are lots of benches to sit and I saw that there are more to come. I also took time to go on the ferry ride & it was fun

Worst part of the beach, by far. You get out on that peninsula and think its gonna be so cool and then that wretched smell of seaweed and bog water hits and its like youll never smell the same way ever again.

This park is full of great seascapes, an outhouse, an outdoor shower to get the sand off, and is rich in local history. Google it and George Bracket.

Cute little beach area near the ferry with benches and picnic tables available

Love coming over here. Its super peaceful and clean for such a heavily trafficked area. Lots of really close/convenient and FREE parking which is really great.

It was packed downtown to but everyone was following the mask suggestion. Everyone was in a good mood and friendly. Dog park at marina beach park

Nice place to spend a lunch break... you can sit and walk along a sandy beach.This is where scuba divers go in to explore the underwater marine reserve.

Great casual walk with great shops and food nearby.

I love this place! Its such a beautiful place to go walk around and check out the beach.

One of my favorite places to come and sit, or walk on the beach or you can take a ferry ride . Not so much a place to swim. There is loads of seaweed and it smells pretty strong.

Always a great place for a walk and views of the sound. Great place to view the Olympic mountain range, watch the ferries, etc. It is a one-way road South to North. Some exceptional homes to see also. Parking spaces are available on a first-time basis.

Saw the Neowise comet here. Was a wonderful few of the sound with little light polution to the west.

Absolutely beautiful and extremely peaceful to go at night. You will usually see a gorgeous Blue Heron fishing as well.

Great place to take in the sea breeze, eat lunch or go for a relaxing walk.

Quiet not to busy for a weekend but the smell of the water is a lil bit strong

This is such a great beach. There is everything from sitting in the sand or looking at the sea creatures among the rocks to fill in scuba diving! It is very popular and parking is extremely limited. Yesterday 5.19.18 was a very low tide. Usually the beach is not as accessible, but I took full advantage and took lots of pictures.

Enjoyed a nice sunset was a great way to end the day. Nice little park to play in the sand and watch the ferry go by.

Beautiful spot. Very limited parking

Edmonds waterfront is so accessible, especially if youre having a walk through town. Swim, watch the ferries, dive to the underwater dome, and use a public restroom of needed.

Cool place to get some great photos...

Beautiful place. Its a scenic spot

Very pretty park next to Edmonds ferry. Also location for recreational diving

I kind of dont want to tell people how great this place is because for now I can always find a parking space. This is my go-to place whenever I have an extra hour between meeting friends, appointments, work outs, etc. I enjoy parking here and I just stay in my car and knit and listen to an audiobook or stream a movie or TV show. I find it really peaceful.

First time here, nice view. Perfect for a peaceful outing.

Peaceful, calm, ocean breezes, oh so lovely to walk here

Pass through here twice a day for work. I love it year round... the dark heavy storms and seeing families at the beach on hot days. Yes, we do get hot days, LOL! Believe it, or not!

Not much there just a historical landmark you can possibly see sea life there

Great place for a beautiful walk with such a gorgeous view!

I like to do and just watch the ocean b and the ferries, and the people. Just a nice place to think. I do wish the railroad wasnt there. And it gets crowded at times. But a great place in the morning, just to be quiet.

Nice place but parking is limited. But easily accessible from Main Road. Cozy area to relax.

Nice place to visit and take photos.Nice benches to sit on and enjoy the views.Nice beach to walk on.

The beach can never be a bad idea . . .Bracketts Landing is inviting, open and friendly and picturesque. One of the few places people look you in the eye, smile and greet you. A very good stroll for those of alone and lonely where you can converse and ease the hurt of the days. The smell on the far North end is very much less than pleasant but focus on the riches around you, thank God for your blessings. I promise the sun will set and a new day will begin anew, with promise!

Beautiful park both above and below the surface. Amazing dive location right here in Seattle. Highly recommend. I havent experienced much current here. Endless stuff to see. I have only scratched the surface there. Awesome giant ling cod, rockfish, nudibranchs, greenlings, rat fish, the list goes on. Amazing spot. The park maintenance man is always there working on new structures or maintaining existing ones.

Extremely nice view in low tide!

Such a lovely spot! Fun to watch the ferries come and go, scuba divers in and out, people strolling in the breeze. We went with grandsons 3 1/2 and 17 mos - rocks + water + boys = a fabulous time! And even a couple of trains going by. Free parking too!

Beautiful sunset, short walk on the beach uht

A wonderful, sandy beach right next to the Edmonds ferry to play and watch those amazing Puget Sound sunsets. :)

Decent small beach with a great view for sunset, it is sand instead of the pebbly beaches we so often find here. The landing has a walk out into the water just to the right of the edmonds ferry. On average parking seems to rotate often enough to find a close spot.

Fun to watch ferries and scuba divers and trains

My favorite place to dive in the PNW! Easy walk in. Tons of marine life.

Beautiful, clean and lively.

Its a beautiful and highly accessible beach with fantastic views of the ferry, Puget Sound, and the Olympic Mountains on a clear day.

This is a nice little park to watch the ferry arrive and depart. The parking lot is small, but you can walk down easily from Main Street.

Great beach at low tide!

Big water

Great spot to watch the sunset

This is such a beautiful spot and a prime reason to live in this area

Very very nice on a great sunny day

Relaxing park along the water. Nice place to stroll or sit and enjoy the view. Watch the ferry system at work or the divers practicing their crafts. Or just take in the vast few of the sound and the mountains in the distance. There is a little bit of bike lane, but not for any real speed; its a park, go slow. Footpath and sidewalk are good for walking. Parking is available along the road, but be aware exactly where parking is allowed and where its not. Put your cars inside the marked parking areas. Parking is enforced.

It is a very small but fun place to be. Unfortunately it gets very congested on weekends and evenings which makes it less fun for those who dont like to compete for space. You can play in the sand or sit on a bench and watch the ferries and tide. Scuba diving is popular here and the restroom area is designed to suit their needs on a basic level. Use caution if you are not planning on being wet, the restrooms are typically covered in water. Limited parking.

Just love the walks with my wife, great place to go

Awesome, acessible, easy beach fun

Real quiet and nice fresh breeze, odd place to find trains running through but it isnt a big deal.

We go there for sunsets. First we hit Herfys Burgers to go, then find a stall to watch the sunset. Usually take about an hour to get the Front Seat we like. The sunsets are beautiful when the is just a few clouds on the setting sun: Thats when it is miraculous!!

Absolutely beautiful view of the Sound, the ferry, and the sea life! Also public restrooms available

This place is amazing! Yes the water can be cold, but in the summer its a blast to play in. I also see some seals every so often.

Lovely place to eat h the sun set

Edmonds is an ideal walking town.

This is a great place to view the ferries cross the Puget Sound with the beautiful mountains in the background. There is a lovely walking path along the waterfront with several shops, restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. If your timing is right, you can watch a freight train go whizzing by as well! This is a great place to visit if you only have a short time to explore.

I dont remember comeing here oh wait i do now

Gorgeous sunsets. Great place to stroll with your friends and family. Peaceful. Always something to see.

The quiet and peacefulness.

Beautiful...even better with my son & granddaughter!!!!

Great views.

Beautiful and serene.

It ok. Nothing special.

This is a beautiful park to relax and walk around. It has restroom, and park is really clean. Also has a lot of views great for photoshoot. Highly recommended.

Been coming here since my youth. Love it! Peaceful, beautiful - great representation of the Puget Sound/Pacific NW and the beauty here. Parking can be a bit challenging depending upon the weather and/or what time of day you choose to visit - worth it. You can watch the ferry as it loads/unloads and catch the train which is always fun. Also, there is an underwater diving park which gets lots of use. Check this place out. Note: There is a playground area and dog park about 3/4 mile south of this area.EDIT: Although there are signs everywhere that state NO DOGS ALLOWED here at Bracketts Landing, nobody seems to respect this. Please do your job parks department. Thanks.

Nice beach area with plenty of sandy areas to relax in the sun, whereas many of the PNW beaches are mainly rock. GREAT to explore under the ferry docks for clams And other sea life when the tide is low.

Awesome beach to relax with kids and enjoy the view. Showers bathrooms and drinking fountain!

I love this park. Between the sandy beaches that are a blast to enjoy on warm summer days, the art that is beautiful and builds a sense of connection with the community, and the constant stream of scuba divers that are here to experience the underwater portion of the park there is always something to see or experience. With plenty of benches and tables, decent restroom facilities, a couple showers to help clean off the fun day on the beach, this park has just about everything. You get all that along with easy access to local restaurants and cafes as well as the Edmonds-Kingston ferry.

Nice little beach and a place to see out into the islands. Parking can be difficult during the warmer season. There is a public restroom.

Great Underwater Park for diving in a cozy city. Also beautiful for a little stroll.

Great place for scuba diving, easy beach access. I really like the Edmonds Underwater Park

Beautiful views

Great dive

Beautiful full moon lit night. Water was like glass. A lot to contemplate after listening to Brian Cox for a few hours at The Moore.

Great Views of water, Ferry, Sunsets

The family really enjoyed it!

Perfect blend of beach, trains and ferries. Some sealife and reasonable rest rooms.
