I went during low tide around noon and there were large groups of people clam digging or muscle digging, not sure. It was still really neat walking and seeing so much sealife. So many little crabs and living sand dollars.There were 3 picnic benches near the beach and at the top parking area there is bathrooms. Parking seems to be an issue as it fills up quick and there is no other option for parking.

I did the Four Cedars trail. It was beautiful. I did it at a leisurely pace so it was very easy. I would recommend to someone who wanted an easy leisurely hike.

Beautiful Park with Sound Views and Old Growth Forests surrounding their walking trails. So many opportunities for beautiful photos and exploring!

A sweet park with many areas to enjoy. From beach fun, hiking, picnicking and more. The only disappointment was the parking lot fills up fast. However, the park rangers were helping guide incoming vehicles as outbound vehicles were leaving.

Great park. Love the trails and the easy beach access. Best to go in the late afternoon/early evening, when the tide is out and you can enjoy the sand between your toes. ️

Didnt even know this gem existed until I decided to do a maternity shoot her based on my photographers recommendation!! Absolutely beautiful, and not super busy at the time in went which was 6:30pm. The walk down was easy but the climb up was a little harder for everyone involved, not just the pregnant lady lol. There are 2 parking areas as well which is nice and bathrooms! Beautiful views of the water and once you get to the beach. Parking costs $10.

Beach access here is good and relatively easy to walk to. The beach itself could use some cleaning and definitely some game wardens to monitor better here. Parking is quite limited so if you intend to show up after 8:30 in the morning expect to fight for a spot.

Great when the tide is low for clamming. Plenty of space for all to spread out. The water was not even cold because it was pretty shallow for a bit. Parking for the beach is limited, so you gotta get there earlier than noon. Id like to go back & check out the wooded trails.

Cool place to take kids to collect oyster shells and sand dollars. Very cool at Low tide

Love this place. However, due to COVID-19, it was supposedly closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Like what the? We Parked by the closed gate and walked down. Lots of others did too. Great times! You pack it in, you pack it out! #nolittering

Love this place. Parking lots are pretty small to keep the crowds out. Sort of a hidden gem unless your local. Great place to take the family. Nice hiking trails and clean beach. The Nisqually reach is calm, perfect for kayaking.

I love this place. My kids do to they have clams, oysters and goeducks. The scenery is amazing, plenty of trails and nice bathrooms. Showers and water faucets around the park to wash sand off. The water is always nice on a hot day and is slow moving so its safe for the kiddos.Dogs are welcome parking on the lower lot can get harry. So always plan to walk a bit just in case its full. You do have to have a discover pass or pay to park.

Nice trails and close to the water as well. Great place for family weekend hike.

Beautiful park. Expect to be waiting for a parking spot if you go on a sunny day. This park has really grown in popularity over the past few years.

Beautiful place, way out in the middle of nowhere, if you want to go down to the beach park in the lower parking area!! Although you can take a walking trail which has a staircase of sorts you have to be very careful not to slip. The last step off is can be very dangerous if you arent aware. Great beach clean family friendly perfect for the kiddos to play.or just sit relax and enjoy the serenity. Absolutely loved my visit there. 5 stars all the way 2 thumbs and 2 big toes up on this one.

This park is very close to the Lacey, Olympia area. It features a covered picnic kitchen area with plenty of tables at the upper park area. There is also a lower area by the beach. It also has a large enclosed area with rest rooms and more. There are picnic tables here and there, as well as hiking trails.

Well kept and maintained. Nice public restrooms. Only downside was I didnt see any garbage cans so people less civil will most likely leave trash around.

Great place to take your family, Ive been coming here for 20+ years.

Went too late to hit the low tide, we were hoping for sand dollars but it needs to be a negative tide. However we did find A LOT of tiny crabs that were entertaining and a few shells. Nice little stroll on the beach.

Discover Pass required! Helps cut down onto he number of people roaming in this park. A few easy trails and beach access. Small wildlife and beautiful views of the water.

Loved coming here as a kid and finally got to visit again last week! Beautiful place to visit, fun for all ages and perfect way to get outside all while social distancing. Definitely recommend visiting here if you are in the area.

Nice park with occasional sand dollars. Limited close parking so try to come during the week. Restrooms on site.

Truly beautiful place to explore. Rollie has a gorgeous shoreline and beautiful trails. Great place for a morning stroll. The water is very accessible by foot, though not for differently abled folks

Fantastic little park. Walk to and on the beach. Real family friendly.

Fabulous place for family gathering, fishing from shore or hiking with excellent shoreline and island views.

Great place for family. My family practically go there a lot to catch clams && oysters

Busy, little cold, mostly on the shade. But its was nice to get out.

Great trails, not to many people and peacful.

Can get really crowded during nice days and on weekends, but a great park on a chill fall weekday.

I love that you have trails and water access! Perfect place for a little hike or lunch next to the water :)

Small but fantastic state park near Olympia on far south end of Puget Sound. Mudflats at low tide offer an astonishing variety of sealife, including a variety of crabs, and razor clams. There are excellent second growth forests with easy hiking trails just off the sandy beach. Sometimes whales are visible from the beach area. The park would be an excellent place for a family picnic on a nice day. Well worth the price of a discovery pass.

Great little park for an hour or so walk. The trail was some twists and turns to keep it interesting but nothing too hard to keep someone with even young kids from a fun walk. The beach has an amazing view. Parking is limited (15 cars?) and youll need a Discovery Pass or pay the day use fee $10.

Beautiful park, nice tables, set apart. Perfect for social distancing.

I should have been more prepared climbing the steep hill back up top. It was nice to have a bee accompany me til I made it safely.

We enjoy coming here during low tide; however, if you are coming to be wowed by tide pools you will be disappointed since there arent any. This beach has a gravel shoreline and sandy beach when tide is out. At low tide there are tons of purple sand dollars as you walk out. This is one of the few beaches with a planted oyster bed. DO NOT TAKE OYSTER SHELLS! The babies live on them. You can clam here, but have your clamming license and check the regs to make sure clamming is open. There are manilla, small white clams and horseshoe clams that I know of. There are a lot of picnic benches and grills, restrooms, and a fresh water spigot at the parking lot. The outdoor showers have been removed. A Discover Pass is needed to park or you can pay for the day there ($10). There is an upper and lower parking lot, but they fill up quickly during popular times. Dogs MUST be kept on a leash and cleaned up after. The trail is well groomed and not too strenuous. #LetsGuide #LocalGuides #LeeHeath

We love this, for us, local beach. We love the low tide which uncovers sand dollars and scurrying crabs. And we love high tide when beach is small but we dont have to drag our kayaks far to get to the water so we can join seals which are always curious of us. On a clear day, Mt. Rainier is there to greet all the people who come digging for clams.

By far on of the best seafood places! Excellent service and excellent food!!

Small beach, short and scenic trails, beautiful all around. Limited parking keeps crowd sizes low. Lots of picnic tables.

I loved the walking trail and the beautiful scenery.

I love this park but parking is not fun. Weve been a few times just to turn around and have to look for a different park. Its not like the actual park itself is crowded its just parking is very limited. Great for kids and pets to explore and splash in the water.

A perfect spot to take the kids and dogs. Walk in the woods or on the beach.

One of my favorite places to go! Great paths for hiking and walking, awesome time at low tide, bathrooms and faucets to clean up. Just make sure to clean up after yourself and take your trash home with you!

This State Park is part of South Puget Sound. I love the bridge and hiking trails. Great place to explore nature.

Nice place to enjoy nature!

Tolmie is great. Be sure to check the tides before you go to know what to expect. But its really great at any water level. There are 2 miles worth of hiking trails as well. Very dog and kid friendly. One of our favorite places to go.

Very pretty area with several easy hiking trails. Dog and kid friendly

Nice fun and quiet. Low tide when I went but still had a good time

Great place for shirt hikes, clamping and enjoying the beach. Parking can be busy at times.

Beautiful park. Forested walk and beach access on the Sound.

Visiting my Daughter we are here from San Antonio Texas. It was nice and peaceful.

Graet trails to home on awsome beac

Good area. Just has been way to busy due to covid.

Great beach and trails! Main beach is wheelchair accessible just be sure to to check a tidal chart, at low tide it is out at least 100 yard from the wheelchair accessible beach. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash at all times. There is a $10 fee to enter the park unless you have a Washington state park pass ;)

Nice easy hike. Very pretty.

Love this park. Very well maintained. Has beach access and forest trail hikes. Great for the whole family .

Cool trails and some learning experiences. Lots of shellfish. Parking lot isnt big.

It is almost the same thing as dash point. Except dash point is more hilly and Tolmie State Park is flat. Lacey is one of the best cities in Washington. It has a lot of great parks and a lot of Asian restaurants which most of the people like.

Beautiful area. Parking is a bit limited.

You might have to fight for a good parking spot sometimes but the beach is amazing!

Great place to visit for the day!!

Nice little outing place near Lacey. Beach is best when it is low tide for sand exposure. Four Cedars Trail was muddy but passable in most spots.

Well it was a first date I was coming up from Portland Oregon and she was coming down from Bainbridge island. After a 3-hour lunch she went back to her car to put the stuff away and she never came back. Never got to see the beach. :-)

Tucked away beach from the city, with trails and a spacious indoor space where you can book parties. My daughter loved it, got to see some seals. Plenty of picnic tables with bbq pits. Oh and didnt get to take trails but that is the next trip.

Trails, dog-friendly has a nice little playground for the children and a wonderful beach to explore.

Beach is amazing, best time is to catch it low tide. You’re able to see a ton of different sea creatures, just remember all sea life stays @ there. Parking can be tough, pretty limited. $10 per car and pay at pay station. Attached pictures are of one of the trails nearby. Was beautiful and a nice good walk. Pretty well travelled you won’t get lost.

Tried going but there was a line of cars waiting. After a few minutes of no movement I got out and walked up the street a bit to see a sign that read the park was full.

Gorgeous view, but the sea smell is a little pungent here.

The park offers some amazing views and it has an underwater park for corral reef interaction.

The park is beautiful and its easy to keep social distance. Be warned though the trails are steep or have stairs so bring a baby carrier instead of a stoller!

Its a decent local park with good facilities. There is both beach and trail access for most folks.

Great place to go for a swim and for snorkeling. Ive seen lots of wildlife while out snorkeling including a small shark!

Very beautiful location lots of room for kids to run

Just a beautiful park

Noce, well-maintained trails, lots of beach/tidelands. There were lots of people enjoying the park and it did not feel crowded.

Its beautiful and you can take your dogs.

Another great State Park in Wa State!This park has wooded hills that roll down to the rocky beach. Trails cut through the woods and follow some of the tributaries as they cut through the woods heading out to the sound. See this park on high tide and low tide as the experience is a little different for each!

It was a pretty nice hike! I only had two problems. For one, the locks on the female bathroom stalls were all broken. The second problem is that there was a trail out and they had signage on one side, but the other side didnt have anything so we ended up walking a quarter mile the wrong direction and hit a dead end, we crossed anyway since we didnt want to go back around.

Get there early or you wont find parking!! Awesome place to visit!

Been here thousands of times. Trails are well kept, however beware of mud after rains. Beach access is easy and close to parking. Definitely worth the Discover Pass.

My kids loved running around on the beach, looking for crabs under the rocks, throwing rocks, and playing in the sand. This was a lovely stop for the day.

Not the greatest beach but it was a gorgeous day so I cant complain.

Its beautiful, peaceful and clean. Great for a cookout.

A wonderful place for the whole family

We arrived by boat and caught a mooring ball. Great trails and a nice beach.

Nice well maintained park. I enjoyed the diversity in wild life and plants that were so abundant.

Beautiful place, with amazing views. Great place for family pictures!

So beautiful and peaceful ️

Its beautiful and not to far from us.

Nice trails, well marked. My dogs and I enjoyed our afternoon outing.

Easy saltwater beach access and nice wooded trails. Limited parking available.

One of my favorite places in the world. Beautiful beach. I almost always find sand dollars and oysters. Seen bald eagles. The hiking trails make you feel like youre walking in Jurassic park!

The park was awesome had a great time until my family and I were made awareOf ranger Jake up since existence she was very rude to my wife and children when asked a question she wouldn’t answer you directly would instead tell me that she would explain her answer to one of my family members

This place was great for the family to walk around and see plenty of nature

Beautiful, even with smoke from wildfires. I like that its so close. Makes it easy to pop over after work.

Beautiful walk through the lovely woods

Beautiful place, but parking is woefully lacking so get there early on the weekends

Overall fun day on beach and trails. Normal Feb conditions on the trails ... muddy in spots. One trail was closed due to conditions. The beach was fun for the kids.

Nice relaxing walk. Fun shoreline for kids to explore and discover sea life.

Great park. Dont forget the bug spray though!

Nice for family outdoor activities
