We were staying at Iron Springs and drover up to Pacific Beach. About a 10 mile drive. We were able to drive on the beach. We took longs walks. not much around in the area lot of places closed for winter time.

Very close to the beach but little to no privacy in any of the spots. This park is within walking location to downtown Pacific Beach as well as the beach itself. Fabulous location.

This is a great location if you are looking to get away from it all, however, it is not anything like other coastal Washington State parks. No privacy - RV lots with the beach nearby. That is about it. Nice if you don't mind communal living. Not much here for kids either.

This is something for the whole family to enjoy. Besides the great views and easy walking, there are rocks and streams to entertain the kids. Look for a easy access beach for the elderly who have trouble maneuvering.

I gave this park a great rating because of the location and proximity to the ocean beach. The sites are close together and don't offer very much privacy. There are no camp fires at the site, just on the beach. Most sites have power, there is water available at the entrance to the park. There is also a great little river/stream that runs right next to the park and into the ocean. This is a great place to fly a kite if you have one.

Great park and location. Worth a visit to the park. How can you go wrong with a beach right on the ocean and it's a clean park to hang out in? It's worth the visit. Although if staying at Seabrook just head down to the beach below them for the similar feelMake sure you have your Discover Pass though.

If you are planning to camp. Go to Ocean City State park. The sites are nicer and wooded there. These sites at Pacific Beach are open grass sites with a parking spot. If you are not camping (like us), you will need a Discover Pass. The beach is nice. I like that there are not cars driving by. I don't have to worry about my children hit by cars on the beach. Expect more nature and quiet here. I just cant give it a great rating because really the beach is not special. Just a patch of sand with access to it, no views.

This is the best place to camp with your family, if you want to spend all your time on the beach. If you have an RV even better, pull up right to the beach and enjoy looking at the ocean all day long.

This state park is a beautiful sandy beach and cars are prohibited from the beach. You do need a discover pass to park in the parking lot and there's a short trail to the beach. There are restrooms close by, and showers. The town of Pacific Beach is small, with a couple of mini marts, gas, a few souvenir shops, a coffee shop and a bakery. There are also camping/RV options, but we just did a day trip. It was 63 degrees in Pacific Beach when it was 90 degrees in Olympia--that was fine with us, but check the weather when you go. Ocean beaches can be much colder than inland. If you want Ocean Shores type view and sand without cars, horses and tons of tourists, this is your spot. If you don't have a discover pass, you can pay a day use fee--I'm sure people park in town and walk down to the beach, but our fees support our great state parks.

Beautiful beach, great beach combing, and wildlife viewing. Unfortunately though, we went expecting to stay in a yurt, which was available, even though we did not reserve it. But because the camp host was nowhere to be seen and not even on site when we rolled in ( not late) we could not stay. We were forced to look for other accommodations.

Great place to go during the winter. Clean facilities and you are right on the beach! Get's crowded during the summer so beware.

We came in the winter. While it was 20 degrees outside, the beach was magnificent. Lots of wildlife to enjoy.

We're really looking forward to camping at this small state park. It's right on the beach! Water hookups only for RV's but there's a dump station. We were pleased to see a camp host too.

I noticed campers, tents, picnic tables, and parking spots. Short trail to beach. the shower facilities were great designed for short and tall people. You have to pay for the hot water, but the cold water was fine for washing the sand off. The toilet facilities were clean and did not smell.

While staying at the Sand Dollar Inn I walked through the State Park. There are 65 sites and it is write on the beach. Back up your motorhome and have a view of the ocean and hear it all night. Clean public facilities for showering and bathrooms. I noticed the do allow tents. Great spot and little known area. Right on the Beach....
