Dash Point State Park
Dash Point State Park, State park in Federal Way, United States.
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.
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.
The amphitheater hosts regular summer talks where visitors learn about local owls, bats, and the creatures living in the saltwater reefs offshore.
The park provides camping options including tent sites and utility spaces for larger recreational vehicles, with facilities for showers and fresh water. Visitors should plan around tidal changes and be prepared for cooler conditions near the water.
The sandy beach provides ideal conditions for skim boarding, attracting practitioners year-round. This water sport remains less well-known than surfing but has a dedicated following here.
