Penrose Point State Park, State park near Mayo Cove, Pierce County, US.
The 165-acre Penrose Point State Park features dense forests, two miles of saltwater shoreline along Puget Sound, and multiple hiking trails.
The park received its name from Stephen Penrose, who served as president of Whitman College in Walla Walla from 1884 to 1934.
Local residents gather at Penrose Point throughout the year for traditional shellfish harvesting, including clam digging and crabbing activities.

The park includes an Eagle Scout-built interpretive trail that guides visitors through the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest ecosystem.
