In A Nutshell: -If you are looking for a nice beach on the Puget Sound to watch the sunset, look no further than Kayak Point. -There are several beaches along Marine Drive, however, all of them are PRIVATE BEACHES, except Kayak Point. -So save yourself some time & go directly to this beach. -Once you are here, expect to pay $10 for a day parking pass. -There are plenty of parking spaces close to the beach. -There are also plenty of fire pits on the beach & picnic areas. -There is also a small dock where you can fish/crab on. Overall, this is a nice beach to check out if you are in the area of Marysville, Stanwood & Tulalip.

First sunny day over spring break and I took the kids here to do a little beach combing, and exploring a new beach. Some have complained about paying to park but I didn't mind. It was well maintained and has a pretty great play structure and clean bathrooms. Worth the money. We wandered up and back down along the beach, skipping rocks and snapping pictures. We found a little seal sunning himself as well which was fun. The kids have already said that this was one of their favorite parks, between the climbing cover and the fascinating shells and rocks they found I can imagine we will be coming back again this summer. Next time, bringing something to grill!

Kayak Point is really great! The beach is quite long with a huge supply of driftwood and several fire rings, first come first served. There are also open and covered picnic tables. It's a fun place to go to build a fire, roast some hot dogs and enjoy the beach. The beach is rocky and due to all the driftwood, not barefoot/flip flop friendly so wear tennis shoes when you come here. It costs $5 to enter the park. When it's a nice day and the parking lot is packed down by the beach, be prepared to park at the entrance and hoof it downhill about 1/4-1/2 mile. It's open sunrise to sunset so expect the rangers to start come through when the sun is an hour away from setting to tell you to put out your fire and start packing up. There's a nice fishing pier. I've seen fish jumping like crazy in the water. I don't fish but I'd imagine this is a hot spot for that. I've seen a whale passing through, just about 100 yards away from the beach! I've also spotted bald eagles. There are yurts and campsites to rent too. There are restrooms on site vs. port-a-potties.

Rock beach

Very private not many people on the one side. Lots of jungle gym equipment for the kids. Plenty of open grass for some fun in the sun. My favorite was walking along the coast and wading in the water. Very clean, friendly staff at the entrance office. I think it would be an epic spot to fly a kite with the winds there.

Awesome and quiet park. There is a campground nearby too if you are into it. Such a great place to go kayak. Definitely recommend to everybody

Another year, another Girl Scout camping trip. I have the worst time remembering to book early enough to get into a state park, so after a bit of googling I discovered Kayak Point County Park. They have a fairly new Yurt area (which is what my girls like) so off we went. The good: It is close enough to Seattle to not be a really severe drive on a Friday afternoon. It is clean and small enough so that you feel comfortable there. There are enough fun things to do - playground, dock to fish off, boat launch, picnic tables. It is really pretty. Newly built yurts are comfortable. The bad: It can be crowded. - We were there the last weekend in June. Not a lot of trails to explore. Campsites are all UP hill so it is easy to get down to the beach in the AM but coming back after a long day at the beach is a bit hard. :) All in all it was a pretty nice place to go. We had a really fun time and enjoyed our stay.

Great playground for getting a parents heart racing

5 stars all around. Camped 3 nights (Thrs-Sun) which was ample time to take in all the activities. The campground is very kid and beginner-friendly, with water/power at every site and a central bathroom close by. There's also an inconspicuous fence along the West end of the grounds so kids can't wander to the water. Take a short walk down to the park for beach activities, bbq's, fishing off the dock, and a nice playground. It does get crowded on Saturday, but that just speaks to how nice it is! Will definitely be back.

Wow...popular in the area but a secret to all others. Well let it be a secret no more! Great picnic areas and beaches full of fun logs to climb over and a pier!

The path from the yurt to the park.

Stayed two nights in yurt 10, arrived Sunday left Tuesday, $158 for both nights. The first night was peaceful, yurt was clean but smelled strongly like wet dog. The second night was aweful, a group moved into the other yurts in "yurt village" and stayed up all night being loud. My husband tried to find a ranger or host but all were conveniently absent. My husband did talk to the group but they were so drunk they didn't care. We didn't get much sleep. Yurt 10 is great because it's not in yurt village, it's a little off to the side by itself. But it's still a yurt and the walls are paper thin which isn't a problem as long as people are respectful after 10pm. The beach was outstanding and yurt 10 has a private trail down to it. The playground was like no other we've seen, it looks like so much fun.

This is such a good place to relax and family bonding, and good place for crabbing as well.

Paid 10 bucks to use the park. No water to rinse after a swim. Common areas are blocked off.

Great Beach, play area, picnic shelter. Only negative thing about this park is that you have to pay to get in.

Awesome park. Get here early on holidays otherwise you won't find a spot. Water is very cold, but I still swim every time we're here.

What are the BBQ grills like at Kayak Point? Are they ready to use with briquettes, or would I need to bring my own grate? (and does anyone know how many grills are in the South Shelter?)

$10.00 a day for parking

The yurts here are grouped rather close, but they do have a really nice covered group area inside the yurt village that I haven't seen elsewhere.
