Review:
Forming part of the Fort Worden State Park, Fort Worden Beach is a picturesque 2-mile stretch of beach featuring elevated bluffs that offer sweeping views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There are plenty of beach activities to keep visitors occupied, including swimming and diving, crabbing and clamming as well as lots of mucking around in boats. You can bring your personal watercraft to the park, where you have the use of a 120-foot dock and two boat ramps. Kayak rentals are available and for those who like to keep their feet dry there are over 11 miles of hiking trails and 8 miles of cycling trails. No visit would be complete without touring the historic fort and its well-preserved surroundings.
