A wonderful boardwalk and beach hike (9.3 miles total for the loop) Pay attention to the tide tables to be able to pass the headlands and have a few good firm sandy sections to walk. The beach section was a tough 3 mile walk....lots of rocky beaches at low tide and multiple downed trees to navigate around. Still a great hike. Be sure to scramble up the small headland at Sand Point for one of the best views anywhere. Allow 4 1/2 hours or more for the drive from Seattle to the trailhead. There are only 14 sites in the National Park Campground. The Lost Resort up the road has some decent primitive campsites, as well as micros on tap...great after a long hike.
