When the tide is high, a large part of the beach gets covered, and you'll miss out on the best walking areas. Aside from that, it's a great place for a picnic or just hanging out with friends.

This review is for my last visit this year. I've been here before and ferry was packed!…read moreFortunately, we got tickets in advanced. There was people upstairs and downstairs. Some standing up. So better be on time and make a line if this happens. This year was different. We got tickets but there was just another family. Maybe because we got there at midday. Beach was crowded. We had to walk just a little bit to get a spot and set everything. People come and go with every ferry so there's always space. Just a dew benches but everyone wants to be at the beach near the dry sand. Water will come later on, but the rest is wet. You have to walk for a few minutes to get to the water. It is pretty shallow. This year we had to run because it was shrimp season and they make sand unstable. At first everyone wants to dodge algae, but you end up stepping on it. Getting into the water was the same. It felt like quicksand. It didn't feel quite relaxing. 10 years ago it we would stay for hours in water. Kids would play easily. We'll, at least animals hace set a home! Jetty is a small island just a quarter of mile from Port of Everett. But i don't think you will be able to swim with all your stuff back and forth after a day there :D You ca always kayak if there's no more room in the Ferry. By the way, it is a small passengers only. Strollers won't move on sand so leave it in your car. Do bring everything you need like water, towels, a tent that can resist wind (it gets pretty windy and can blow umbrellas), etc. If you bring food, take all you garbage with you. Don't leave anything. I saw some kids stuff laying there waiting for the water to come over and take it to the sea. So sad. I carried most of it because there are no garbage bins in sight. Also, there is just one floating restroom. It tends to smell. Take it into consideration when drinking lots of water. We usually go to the one in the parking lot first and when coming back. It is very clean. Lots of stalls. Parking lot is big if you extend it to the grass area. There is always someone checking you paid for it.

Summer time it is nice. Decent bathrooms to use. There is no baby changing table, so I had to get creative with that. This park has a zipline type of ride. You can stand on one part, or strap in like a harness swing on the other part. It is fun and sometimes even has a line! The littles really like it. Aside from that, there are plenty of swings, tall green slides that are each different and a carousel type of ride like Forest Park has. There are picnic areas as well as plenty of parking. Pro playground tip: if your kid is young like mine, you may need to assist them with climbing the ladder to the top so they can go down the slides. My two year learned to climb ladders at this park. Great for motor-skill development! One of my videos is of him climbing the ladder i'm talking about.

There are limited parking spaces available, and you have to pay for parking from 8am-8pm. The first hour is $2.25. Pretty reasonable for the lighthouse, view, park to walk the dogs and clean public restrooms. The lighthouse was closed when we visited. From the signs, it looks like it's only open through September, so we just missed being able to go inside the buildings and gift shop. The grounds are kept so nicely...lawn edged, and beautiful flowers, some still in bloom when we visited. Overall a very cute and quaint lighthouse. Would highly recommend a visit!

So I decided to give this one a chance as it had fairly all raving reviews. From a first glance, when we first arrived, parking was very minimal and I'm not sure how well that would work if it were to be a busier day and time. The beginning area for dogs to play around was quite small comparatively to some other parks I've went to but I found that the focus is primarily on the trails. The trail itself was nice, pretty well-maintained however some of the fences are all bent and seem like a hazard if your dog was to be sprinting or kids were running and bumped into it. Though my shepherd is fabulous with recall, the area is not completely fenced off so there is a chance your pooch could find their way to a school or parking lot towards the top. We walked for about 40 minutes and everything was seemingly going quite well and we were enjoying ourselves. Until, we came back to the gate to leave. As I was approaching, I noticed two dog owners and their dogs chatting. As I was getting closer, my shepherd went ahead in front of me and out of nowhere, the lady's dog full force rushes my dog and bites her in the leg. As I'm rushing to go to my dog and make sure everything is alright, the lady just says "Oh we've just been here too long". Excuse me? Off-Leash places should have mannered dogs that don't just randomly attack other dogs. My dog was literally just strolling along and got trampled and bit until she squealed. To top it off, the other dog owner came over trying to comfort my dog by hugging her and holding her and I told him she's probably even more scared because you're a stranger to her and she's not getting any comfort from you, he completely ignored me. After this my dog was off all day, she was erratic and on guard when I went to my training class with the other dogs. So much so, that I had to take her outside for a break to calm down. People need to have well-mannered dogs and be able to control their dogs. My pup keeps to herself and doesn't provoke other dogs or cause problems. This should be every dog that comes to an off leash dog area, otherwise don't bring your dog or go get some training done.
