"A beach park in Seattle where visitors can explore tide pools and discover marine life like moon snails and starfish."

"Situated along to Puget Sound with sweeping views of the Olympic Peninsula, Golden Gardens has something for everyone: walking trails, picnic tables & BBQs, nature preserves, playing fields, sand volleyball courts, a playground, and fire pits. Watch the sail boats locked into the competition of a regatta or stroll down the beach as you forget that the 15th largest metro area in the US is just over the heavily-wooded hillside to the east." - Brooks Running Global Creative

A beloved spot for Seattleites, and rightly so. I walked here from the Ballard locks, but driving is probably easier for most visitors. I would not call this a hidden gem by any means, but it is far enough away from the chaos of downtown Seattle and other densely populated areas in the city that it does not feel as crowded as one might expect for such a scenic area, so idyllic and lovely, in a large city. The dark sand of the beach is striking and almost poignant, and from the rippling shore an observer can see the expanse of Puget Sound, will the Olympic mountains in the background looking staggering in their rough indigo majesty on a clear day. Logs of winding asymmetric driftwood are sprawled across the beach, giving it a certain primordial and untamed feeling. Being here, I am reminded of my travels in Norway: despite its high status as a sightseeing area, providing one of the best views of Puget Sound, there nonetheless remains something wild about it.

Great park for walking, jogging, watching the sunset 🌅 for family, dogs, etc. Clean. Restrooms are available. If lucky you may have a chance to see whales, dolphins, orcas, seals. A lot of free parking. Peaceful and quiet.

Awesome beach/park! Extremely glad that I found this place. Really great place for the beach, if it was a warmer day. Great place to walk on the trails around the park. Plenty of sandy beach, grass areas, playground, walking trails, bathrooms, boat launch and a marina nearby.

Really nice park. Great beach access, well maintained trails and amenities, lots of parking, off leash dog park, a cafe and a little pier. Nice drive through the Ballard neighborhood to get here. And please be mindful of others and don't let your dog off leash in other public areas.

This park is a must-visit for a quick stop. I love the ample parking and the enjoyable drive. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to unwind when I’m having an off day!

Beautiful park and beach, pet friendly~ Stopped by with our dogs they loved to play with lots of trained dogs running, seems like their heaven. Lots of bench and shades. There was a cafe also. Big public restrooms. Enough lots to park.

This is such a cool beach. I went here for a bonfire with my housemates during the pouring rain and it was EPIC! There are fire pits, restrooms, lots of parking, playground, and a wide sand beach. Highly recommend this amazing beach in Seattle!

Great park. Drove out here and was amazed at the sandy beach. Lots of people playing volleyball. Kids playing in the stream. Even people swimming. Don’t this same is natural to this area but maybe it is. Highly recommend coming here. This park is great.
