Pacific Pines State Park

Pacific Pines State Park is a coastal park in Washington reached by walking along a sandy path through a grove of Ponderosa pines that opens directly onto the Pacific Ocean. The area covers about 10 acres and provides immediate beach access from the forest.

The park was established by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission to protect beach access on the Long Beach Peninsula. Public shoreline access was seen as important for the region's future.

Local people gather here for shellfish harvesting along the shore, a tradition that has been passed down through generations in the area.

The walk from the parking area to the beach takes just a few minutes and is straightforward to navigate. The site has minimal facilities, so visitors should bring supplies and be prepared for changing coastal weather.

The park has five picnic tables with single-sided windbreaks that provide sheltered spots for eating while framing views of the ocean through the pine trees.
