For adventurous nature lovers as well as those who are not so adventurous, Tolmie State Park is a delight. This is a 100+acre marine day-use park with close to 2000 feet of shoreline on Puget Sound. The park is forested and sits just on Nisqually Beach only a few miles from Olympia. Beachside, the park offers picnicking, sunbathing, and other low-key land based activities. It has two kitchen shelters with electricity, sinks, and grills. There are both sheltered and unsheltered picnic tables. For the more adventurous and underwater inclined, there is a park built by scuba divers that features sunken barges and a reef constructed of tires.
