- Tips
1) If your family likes to ride the ferry, you can take the Mukilteo – Clinton ferry to get to the park. It takes an hour from the Clinton ferry terminal to get to the park driving through Whidbey Island.
2) 0.9 mile North Beach Trail from the North and West Beach parking lot to the bridge is good for family with young children. At the destination, you can look over the bridge right under it. When returning to the parking lot, strolling along the beach can be easier to young hikers.(Children can search for sea creatures, enjoy sand play, and throw pebbles in the water along the North Beach.)
3) From the bridge, you can walk more following the Summit Trail to the Goose Rock area if you can walk more.
