Oh what a wonderful day.I have lived in Hawaii for over 25 years with beautiful beaches. This trip was awesome, to get to see Puget sound is a whole different world. Experience I will treasure!! Lots of different bird life and plenty of sea otters. Would do it all over again in a heartbeat!!Until we meet again Puget sound!!A Hui HOU!!

Today the waves were spectacular when they crashed against the shoreline causing a magnificent show of various levels of spray. The parking lot was flooded and small children in brightly coloured rubber boots bounced merrily from puddle to puddle. The power of mother nature leaves me in awe and the joy emanating from the children made my heart happy.

Me and my husband like visiting this pier, fishing, walking, sunbathing, you name it. We love that we still have some sort of access even though we dont live directly on the water front. It can get a little busy and hard to park sometimes but we dont mind at all.

This area is usually clean, but every now and then youll find people who left their trash laying around. There are two restrooms available, but toilet paper stock is questionable, so I always have a roll in the car just in case. The parking lot isnt very big, it is sometimes a long wait to get a spot because there is no additional parking within a reasonable walking distance. The road parking nearby is reserved for residents. Its a nice place if you can get a parking spot and people havent thrown their trash everywhere.

Fantastic! Great place for the family. Easy walking and easy accessPlenty of park benches. Tons of drift wood. Views for miles and miles!Fantastic for photography.Dont forget to bring your trash bags!!!!!

Open from sunrise to dusk. Its a beautiful and quiet place. The place is kind of hidden.

Very cool place. The beach is pretty rocky. You can swim here. The pier was great. The fishing seems good here also. There were people catching crabs.

Quaint and small, the park is perfect for a sunset stroll, fishing pier occasionally open to the public. Parking is limited, as are the number of seats in the ocean front restaurant twenty yards from where the first picture is taken. Ginos is its name make reservations particularly on weekends.

Such a chill spot! Good view, clean, kids loves it! Parking is a little hassle, but still a good spot for the family.

Hard to find parking. Excellent views. Bathrooms, playground, and a fishing pier. Italian restaurant located next to the pier.

This is a great place to fish, but irritating because of peoples lack of common courtesy. People will throw over your line, blow cigarette smoke all over you and your family (even though smoking is prohibited and its clearly marked), push in 1ft beside you and then throw over your line, throw their lines of your crab pots...a guy on a kayak today was peddling by so close to the pier that he caught someones line as it was cast out and then flipped the guy off after continuingto try and carry his line further out which was crossing everyone else there..so on and so forth. There are some regulars here that are pretty awesome and it looks like a lot of families enjoy the beach...but do not expect to fish comfortably or have your kids out on the pier if you dont want them exposed to continuous 2nd hand smoke, crass language, and rude people everywhere.

Beautiful area, nice park and pier, could use more parking but they do the best they can with the property they have

Fishing Review:The pier gets fairly busy at peak times (5pm - 7pm) and you may have to knock off a crab or two from your line at any given cast. But, if that doesnt bother you much, then this spot is pretty relaxing with a good opportunity to catch with the right skill set.

Great place for kids to explore. Lots of opportunities including the newly built swing set and playground finished in 2015. People will love the new Decor on the playground at Dash Point, I live on the beach and I see kids 24/7 quite almost either on the swings, slide, jungle gym, or even the doc or enclosed structure was included in the pictures for grilling so just bring your charcoal and youre good to go,.

It is beautiful, free parking and the night fishing crowd is awesome.

Chill little beach area with good vibes. You can go here to relax and stroll on the beach go fishing. Parking is free here as well.

Its such a nice play ground. kids wont be bored at the beach n play ground both.the parking is structured but I can see it would be difficult to find the spot during summer time.I personally prefer here than point ruston play ground.

The drive there is shaded and gorgeous. The playground is simple, but you cant beat the view from the swings. Make sure to wear shoes on the beach to avoid stepping on glass. Fun to watch people fish off the pier. There are public bathrooms and one fine dining option.

Small beach, small parking lot. Located in a community whose private parking is with the park. One way entry. It does have a lovely boardwalk. Kid friendly.

Nice place. Very small. Not really a sandy beach as advertised. There is a small sandy area at the playground. It is dirty because people dont clean up after themselves. I would not allow my kid to put there foot in the sand. Has a small playground area and parking is definitely an issue. Nice water front restaurant right out front though. I probably wont go again because of the parking issue. If parking was not an issue I would definitely go again and would have given a 5. It does has benches to sit but not to many. Bring your own chair if you need to sit down. The pier is small but very nice. It is closed due to quarantine but it is still small. It is kid friendly though. Its about a 30 minute drive from South Hill with no traffic. Nice place!

A very beautiful view. Family appropriate. I had an amazing visit! Thank you

Very crowded. Nice place to visit and hangout. Many people fishing off pier.

Just A Beautiful Place To Enjoy The Water And Some Good Fishing

It LOOKED super fun, but parking is ridiculous. If you arent there early enough, you basically have to be a local resident or park far away and walk (there are other parks to go to, so we didnt do that). We may give it another try during a weekday, but I wouldnt get your hopes up about parking there during a summer weekend (especially if you arent planning on arriving early).

Nice place to enjoy with friends and family!place of fishing and fun

This is a great place to relax

Great place for family outing!!!

Had a great time. Cleared my head. Smelled the berries so sweet

Beautiful Sandy beach and fishing on the pier. Such a spectacular view!

It was kind of an unassuming pier. The view isnt spectacular, but the houses on the hill look nice. It was drizzling when I was there.

Beautiful! Swimming, fishing, beach and wonderful view! Well kept and safe.

Easy access in a short period of time from home but small parking lots.

Its a nice little park right on water! It has restaurant there. I havent eaten there yet though. Very limited parking but nice place to go to for a visit. I go most Sunday afternoons...

Nice kinda packed but worth getting out the house.

Really nice, fishing is great! I saw 2 people catch some salmon on there!

Very crowded on the weekend due to the fishermen. If you dive here be very cautious and stay away from the dock there is a risk of getting snagged on a line.

I love this place. Its a little bit cold but so peaceful

Good spot for fishing king and coho salmon.

Beautiful area

Great place for families but parking is so limited. Please add more parking spaces! Public restrooms and a restaurant nearby. We always see sea creatures when we go whether its a seal, jelly fishes, crabs, or a fishermans catch.

Awesome to launch there and very reasonably priced!

The parking is very limited and people park even in spaces that they are not allow, making it very hard to get in and out of the lot. Nice place, but is hard to enjoy when dog owners do not pick up after their dog...

Best sunset viewing in area. Kids can play on decent play ground and sandy beach when tide is low. A Covered picnic area is provided.

Nice place for a picnic with the family. Also has a pier which apparently the people who fish love. Great views of the sound. Free parking. Has bathrooms, but I didnt use so beware. 1 covered area with picnic tables and 1 small playground.

Nice little park with pier, beach, and playground. Short walk along the water as well. Kids enjoyed looking for whales after a grey was sighted swimming UNDER the pier. Didn’t catch sight of any on this day but still enjoyed the park.

Beautiful park! Right on the water. Wonderful pier to walk out on. Careful it can be quite busy on weekends

Very beautiful. Great fishing nice for walks with dog as well.

Looked nice. Road there is a bit aggressive. Scenery was awesome. You could go fishing right off the pier.

Great place to find peace. Calm park. Besides all that, plenty of rude and bully peeps are to be found in the neighborhood!

Nice little Zen spot.

Beautiful scene view!!!

Beautiful scenery at night!! Bring a warm jacket or blanket if ur into a peaceful spot to relax and watch the world go by

So lucky to have this park

Sand and pebble Beach. Very chill, lots of families so no privacy but still worth it.

Beautiful destination. Ahhh the sea air!!!! So rejuvenating. Remember...pack it in --> pack it out. Please do not litter. Thank you.

Quiet, I like how they post signs letting people know where private property; as well as the beach front of the property .Also, how those who know the neighborhood,are respectful and appreciate the Beauty and Enjoy a nice, quiet,peaceful day while visiting Dash Point Park & Pier.

Very cool area. Seems to be family oriented

Was really nice. The pier is like a fishing pier with a huge tree for Christmas. There was a blue heron and a cat who was trying to catch it which was pretty funny.

Nice pier but parking was a challenge

Been coming here since I was a kid now I get to bring my kids

Squid fishing was fun. Everyone was nice, inviting and willing to show me how to to catch squid. Very cool spot.

Awesome history and fun to be had!! Take a peek.

Decided to explore the area a little and came upon this park. Great little beach for a walk, or if you have kids you can play on the playground. Its quiet and well maintained

This park is great. Pull up and park and gaze at the beautiful Puget sound

Beautiful place.

Good place for Salmon.

Nice view but cramped with parking, narrow streets and small.

Water is shallow that kids can go and play.

Ive been coming down here for 15 years never again this place used to be a hidden gem now its stacked to the brim with people who dont live anywhere close by

Very calming my sons DeRay and CashRay ..... CashRay is in Orange

Had fun in the sun you know even though my life is hectic and outta control I still manage to smile and enjoy lifes little things Im grateful for everything

Fave Five Beachs along the WestCoast...after the majors of course...(Venice, SantaMonica, Malibu, Redondo)...

Went to Dash Point Park on the weekend with my boyfriend and his daughter. The tide was high, so we didnt have a lot of beach to explore, but we did get a chance to wade through the water, fly a kite, and walk through the forest trails nearby (which, I believe, connect to the campground - we didnt walk that far).The beach was very clean and, although it was a warm, sunny day, there was plenty of space for us to snag a large area of sand. There are restrooms fairly close to the beach which is nice, although we didnt utilize them on our visit.The forest trails are fun - there is an area with a hollowed out tree that is now basically a natural slide. It was super fun to slide down!Would like to come back on a lower tide because, from what I see in other #localguides photos, the beach area really expands!

This is a great park for families. Parking is limited though and is the only reason I gave it a 4 star. otherwise, its a beautiful place. Theres a public restroom, a fishing pier, and a playground.

May not have enough parking. Sheltered area for picnic/party area. Dock may not be suitable for sensitive people due to fishing. Two unisex restrooms and a sani-can.

What has happened? New guests dont like Dash point and started destroying bench a piece at a time. This is a Beautiful fishing area open to the lonely looking for a nice quiet place to visit. For young families to relax with children and those of us who walk their dogs. Please dont let closed because of the destructive people and not just the Coronvirous.

Cool little spot with fishing off of the pier, a small playset with swings and always excellent beach combing when the tide is out

Great up in this area and been going to Dash Point for years... Now I take my kids here and they live it.

Gorgeous sunset

Lots of trails, camping sites, paths to the Sound, and lovely area for pics.

Great place to visit

Sandy/rocky beach with a pier. The beach is long and you can walk pretty far, but it’s not designed to be a major attraction. I’d definitely bring my dog to walk here on a nice day, but if the lot fills up there aren’t many other places to park.

Went there to watch poeple plunge themselves into the cold puget sound water. There were many shivers.

Easy beach access. Clean beach

It is a nice park .i havent been hear for a while .though the bathrooms could be cleaned morw often .

Best place to WISH to catch a fish lol

Moved away from the area a long time ago. It was fun to go back and visit Dash Point Park again.

Love this place! I have gone two times, both at low tides. Got to see tons of sand dollars and one big crab. My dog loved it out there.

I really enjoy the view and a great view of sunsets when we have clear weather. Parking can get full.

Always fun to go watch people pull in salmon

Beautiful view

Beautiful park. I enjoyed walking far out in the water when the tide was out.

Limited parking, decent sand among the rocky shore, but the water is shallow for a quite a way out

Always a great time here. Fishing in the rain.

Wonderful time. Great beach. Friendly people. A fair amount of dogs, all well behaved.

Beautiful. The trails are moderate from the beach to the campground. Campground to Hoyt Rd is easy. Much better on a rainy day, less people.

The water crashing on the shore is so loud and relaxing . Its a nice place tucked away. You forget where your at for a minute

Had a great time fishing, restroom was clean, we were lucky to find parking!!!

Fishing, scuba practice, beach walks what else do you need.

Very nice place to stay !!!
