Scenic Beach State Park, State park in Kitsap County, Washington, US.
Scenic Beach State Park covers 121 acres along Hood Canal in Kitsap County, Washington, with 1,500 feet of shoreline. The park offers picnicking, camping, boating, diving, fishing, and swimming.
The land originally operated as an auto camp until 1959, when Washington State purchased it in 1963. The site opened to the public as a state park in 1975.
The historic Emel House from 1911 stands on the grounds and serves as a venue for local gatherings and celebrations. Visitors can observe how this building anchors the community's connection to the place.
The park provides around 50 camping spots with restroom facilities, showers, and drinking water distributed throughout the grounds. Conditions vary by season, so planning ahead helps visitors prepare appropriately.
The park's 1,500 feet of shoreline along Hood Canal make it a site for diving as well as swimming, fishing and boating. The water is salt, since Hood Canal is a fjord-like arm of Puget Sound rather than a canal.
