Description
Dash Point State Park is a nature reserve along Puget Sound with a sandy shoreline and forest trails winding through the park. The 461-acre site combines open beach access with shaded woodland paths that lead deeper into the protected area.
History
The site was added to Washington State Parks to protect the natural coastline of Puget Sound from development. This decision reflected a broader commitment to preserving the region's coastal landscapes.
