Walked the beach from Ebey's Landing down to Fort Casey, and back.
Access. Paved road, gravel parking lot with all the facilities.
Conditions. The tide dropped from about 5 ft to 1 ft while we were there. Compact sand (with some pebbles) made walking easy. There was a ½ mile section signed as private property, but without any "no trespassing" signs. The steep bluffs above the beach looked not so stable, and there was evidence of slides in a few spots.
Flora & Fauna. Some washed-up marine life, and, as the tide dropped, a few small tide pools in exposed rocks.
Crowds. Managed to get a spot in the parking lot (which as space for about 16 cars) at 3pm, but cars were parked along the road for at least ¼ mile (on both sides, turning the road into a single-lane road). Didn't see many people past the first ½ mile on the beach, so most people must have headed in the opposite direction to the Bluff Trail, or staid right at the beach.
