The Hidden Beaches Road Trip That Will Show You Washington Like Never Before

Long Beach and Ocean Shores are amazing Washington state beaches, but they're also well-known, which often means crowded. Sometimes it's nice to enjoy some of the best beaches in Washington that are a little more secluded. This road trip, which you can take on a weekend or whenever you have the time, features some of the Evergreen State's lesser-known stretches of sand. Enjoy; you'll want to add each of these to your list of hidden beaches in Washington to visit.

The route, no more googling "beaches near me!"

1. Meadowdale Beach Park

2. Me-Kwa-Mooks Park

West Seattle's Alki Beach is beautiful, but it's perpetually packed with locals and tourists. Head around the corner on Beach Drive and you'll eventually come to Me-Kwa-Mooks park, a laid back park with a small beach perfect for taking in the views.

3. Marine View Park

4. Point No Point Lighthouse, Hansville

5. Glass Beach, McCurdy Point Road, Port Townsend

McCurdy Point is a 100-foot bluff that extends south and east with elevated headlands. Beneath it, you'll find a beautiful beach full of jewelry quality sea glass. To reach Glass Beach, park at the North Beach parking lot on Kuhn Street and walk about 2.5 miles west McCurdy Point. Since this beach is tough to reach, it's often secluded.

6. Port Williams, Port Williams Road, Sequim

This often-overlooked beach is a total treasure. It's the perfect place to take a leisurely stroll with your special someone, enjoy time with your family or stretch your legs solo. There are picnic tables and a small boat launch for boaters.
