Griffiths-Priday State Park - Copalis River Spit — Sunday, Jul. 2, 2023

If you don’t like crowds and cars in the beach, this is the place to go!
We took the trail by the picnic shelter and worked our way north through the dunes. The trail is in good shape except for a couple spots that looks like it’s going to erode into the creek.
Eventually we cut across to the beach where we had the place to ourselves.
For the return, we decided to take the beach, which meant crossing the shallow and almost warm water of Cooper Creek. The beach is flat with firm sand that makes for easy walking. We cut back over to the creek and followed it until we found the bridge. Once we crossed the bridge, we had to backtrack a bit through the woods to get to the SP parking lot.
Love this beach!
