Enjoyed the paved road to the trailhead, complete with privy. Spotted some cars parked roadside outside the parking lot. Hiked up to the bluff, then returned via sea level along the water. Initially thought that the trail returned along the shoreline on the sand, but the high tide prevented us from continuing on the beach. We followed the trail as it wound adjacent to the ponds. 

Very pleasant on a weekday AM, not crowded. Forecast was cloudy, but still managed to spot Rainer, Olympics, baker, and the rest of the cascades. 

Did the 3.5m loop starting going up on bluff and then down via the beach. Checked tide schedule.
There is a parking lot as well as parking on the side of road. Picnic table and sign. Discover pass.
Nice hike along the bluff. Well maintained and easy to follow trail. The elevation gain/loss is at the beginning and end of bluff. Lots of birds on the bluff and near the water.
Gorgeous views.
Few people early morning on a week day.

Arrived just after noon on Saturday. We parked in the beach parking lot with Discovery Pass. There were some cars parked along road. Trailhead toilet available and not bad for no plumbing. 
After a picnic on the beach, we hiked up hill to walk the loop counterclockwise. At the top there are beautiful views in all directions, including Mount Baker, the Olympic mountains and the straight of Juan de Fuca. Trekked along the bluff trail down to the beach and back to the parking lot with Mount Rainier hazy in the distance.  
My watch measured just about 3.6 miles. Encountered many shore birds including great blue herons, auklets, pigeon guillemots, gulls, grebes and cormorants. 
Fun fall adventure. 

Nice weather this time of year, it's not too cold yet but definitely not hot.

Did the trail from the seaside parking up the side of the cliff and down back along the beach.

Great short easy hike with perfect weather.
