Can we build a bonfire / cooking fire/ recreational fire?
Recreational beach fires are permitted 100 feet west (that’s toward the ocean) of the highly flammable dune grass. Fires can be up to 4′ x 3′ x 3′ in size. Check to be sure a burn ban isn’t in effect (360.665.3508), be aware of wind direction and be sure to completely extinguish the fire before leaving the area. Please bag all refuse from picnics or celebrations. Do not attempt to burn or bury it. Can we drive on the beach? Yes! Some sections of the beach are closed between April and September, and the tip of the Peninsula is closed year round; please see our page on beach driving for details. The beach is designated as a State Highway, with a speed limit of 25 mph and all the regular rules of the road. What do I do if I find a baby seal or injured bird? Harbor seal pups are born between mid-April and June. The pups stay with their mothers for about 4-6 weeks and join the adult seals during their haul-outs (daily resting and warming periods that last several hours). Seals are less mobi
