Went to Camano island state park for a little adventure day and the king tides paired with high tide completely flooded out all of the access to the beach. The explored a little bit but didn’t spend much time here. The beach state park was in the same condition.

Ranger said to come back in a few weeks - the beach combing should be amazing!

Well maintained and uncrowded park with beautiful Olympics views, bluffs, and fall foliage.
There were several red lions mane jellyfish (cold water jellyfish native to  Puget Sound) right at the shoreline. Very cool to see up close, but people hiking with small children and pets might want to keep an eye out, as their stings apparently aren’t deadly but are painful.

We spent a beautiful afternoon exploring Camano Island. Plenty of parking. Many tables available for picnicking. Flush restrooms open and clean.

We timed our arrival with low tide which allowed us to explore more of the beach. Great day for skipping rocks. Lots of boaters and kayakers out on the water.

This was just what we needed after spending two weeks sick at home - great to be out again!

We booked a last minute reservation at the campground and wanted to check this trail out. The section in the woods is very lush and peaceful. The beach is sparsely populated even on a beautiful day. You can extend your hike or cut it shorter however you see fit, the routing was a little confusing but it’s easy as a breeze using the AllTrails map.

I'm sure everybody is going to be out tide pooling this weekend, be prepared. We had no problem at Camano today, got there about 10 and parked in the North lot. It was the first time we could walk along the beach all the way to the boat launch, we usually take the Bluff loop. The tide wasn't all the way out yet, but we turned over the rocks and saw all the little crabs, and yes we turned the rocks back after we took a quick look. After the beach we took the Loop trail up the stairs and around the parameter trail. We had lunch on a nice bench in the woods and listened to lots of birdsong. By the time we got back to the car, the park was much busier with families out for a picnic and beachcombing.
