Learn more about alerts →Families with kids who want a mix of beach, tidepool, and forest trail in one spot will do well here. The shallow main cove is genuinely kid-safe for wading, and September days in the mid-60s with thin crowds make it far more enjoyable than any July weekend.
No electric, water, or sewer hookups anywhere on property, and narrow curvy roads make backing larger trailers a real headache. Peak summer brings tightly packed sites, late-night noise, and raccoons bold enough to raid unsecured food.

Early fall delivers the sweet spot: mid-50s to mid-60s°F days and mid-40s to low-50s°F nights in September, with drier conditions and dramatically smaller crowds than July or August. Hiking, tidepooling, and kayaking stay comfortable without summer heat. Wildlife appears more easily along the shoreline as activity quiets, and salmon runs pick up. Summer brings warmth but also full campgrounds, noise, and mosquitoes during certain stretches. Occasional late-summer wildfire smoke can affect air quality. Off-season visits trade temperature for solitude.
Early fall cited as sweet spot: drier weather, mid-50s–60s°F and much smaller crowds.
