Great beach that's close to a lot of amenities. The port of Edmonds marina is right adjacent so you can watch boats sailing in and out, and people going about their business. It gets quite busy on a nice day. There are also ferries going by in the distance. If you go past the marina, there's an ice cream shop near by as well as several restaurants, and of course a little further is downtown Edmonds. There is a play area for the small kids along the path to the beach with picnic tables in the grassy area. If you have a stroller, there's a paved pathway to give easy access to the bench. There's a sandy area that can be used for volleyball - just bring a net and set it up! The dog park also provides a space for those with pets. There were sea lions when I visited, so that was pretty exciting! Small parking lot, but lots of street parking on Admiral Way. read more

Such a great place to hang out alone, with friends or with family. And it's very ADA accessible and friendly. Walkways are wide and smooth and paved. There's sandy beach area for the little and big kids who want to make sand castles. Picnic benches to enjoy the views and a packed lunch if you like. Or bring a grill and pop a squat somewhere and enjoy the natural beauty. The pier has plenty of area for fishing or crabbing. The pier is designated as a smoke free area. No cigarettes, vaping or marijuana. There's even an area where you can clean the seafood you catch. The walkway around the marina extends a short distance so it's good to enjoy an outdoor walk with the seaside close. read more

Not really much to this place unless you are part of the yacht club lol ... but, couple of tables and benches to sit at if you just want to read, journal, or watch the sunsets or sunrises. Not really a beach in my eyes. I like that there are seating spots on the sand with the fallen bark, but still...this is so small of a beach, if I could even call it that. Plenty of parking nearby, no charge. read more

Marina Beach Park is tucked off the main drive in Edmonds, though still close enough to readily access. I have been coming to this area for over 20 years, with more frequent visiting when I was growing up. My grandma lived in Edmonds and this is a place we came together to play on the beach. When eating at a nearby restaurant or visiting the marina, this was also a place we would come if we had some extra time. Parking is close to the waterfront, so it is not much of a walk once out of one's vehicle if accessing the park by car. A few picnic tables on a grassy hill look out over the beach, water, and on a clear sky day the Olympic Mountains may be in view. In my experiences here, it has tended to be well maintained. read more

Been living in the northend for over two decades and this was my first visit to Marina Beach Park in Edmonds (8/16/23). I usually see this area from the Edmonds-Kingston ferry. I've only visited Brackett's Landing by the ferry terminal or the waterfront beach/fishing pier area by Anthony's and Arnie's restaurants. There is a parking lot, grassy areas with picnic tables and benches, sandy beach waterfront areas, designated dog park areas, and portable toilets. Just an fyi - saw King County Sheriff Animal Control do a driveby patrol, so make sure to abide by the park rules with your four legged pets. The shaded area with large trees have no nearby seating, so most people brought their own lawn chairs or blankets. Or like me and The College Friend, we just stood under the shade and enjoyed the breeze during that hot late afternoon. The view was very pleasant with the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, has nearby trains passing by and lots of pleasure boaters. read more

What a lovely little spot at the Edmonds beachfront. Water and beach access, grassy fields and a playground. A dog park is also right there along the shoreline, so watch your children and fearful friends while wading or walking along the shore. Parking can be found on either side of the playground making for easy access to the area. read more

I finally visited this small park even though I'm only a 20 minute drive away! And what a lovey little park it is. You'll find a playground for children, a small beachfront, and a small dog park all next to each other. There are also walkways that connect to the boardwalk that will take you all the way to Edmonds Fishing Pier, which is also a fun spot to chill and take in the sights. On a clear day, you'll get a gorgeous view of the mountains. I must have spent a solid half hour just enjoying the view and taking pictures. Be warned, finding parking can be very difficult if you come in the afternoon. I got here around 11am and I was lucky to grab one of the last two spots.

I spent an hour and a half on the boardwalk staring at the ocean. Yup, just staring. I loved it THAT much. I'm from the Midwest so any time I get outside of my flat, lame state, I am completely enamored. But upon coming to the marina beach park, I was straight up amazed that THIS is just down the street from the houses or in someone's neighborhood. Are you KIDDING me?! Spoiled. It's such a great place to walk, paint, fish, hang out with friends, workout, or literally just go by yourself and stare at the ocean for hours ... (don't judge). The view is unreal and will keep you wholly captivated. The mountains in the background, boats on the clear water, whew, it's stunning. They have a little bit of a beach area, obviously it's more rocky and dark than sand you'd find in Florida or CA. I would recommend this spot to anyone, and if you want you can just go right up the street and grab an amazing bite to eat anywhere that's open or walk into some fun shops/boutiques! read more

This is a great beach and park. There is a section of just before the beach that has a playground for children; also, there is a nice beach area that you can use or just take in the great view.

Marina Beach Park is one of our favorite parks to take the dogs to! They have a large fenced off area that goes right up to the water, which makes for great water play for our dogs. The park also has a smaller fenced area for shyer dogs. Trash bins, doggy bags and a hose station are also readily available for easy access and use. Just a heads-up though, some owners have been forgetting to pick up after their dogs near the fences. :( Parking can definitely get tight on busy weekends, so I do want to note that you may have to park a little ways away from the main area. read more

Beautiful marina! If you look closely you might spot a seal! The beach marina has nice logs along the beach where you can sit and enjoy the view. The water is beautiful but cold! You can see Olympic mountains and ships along the water. There's also a dog park right next to the beach and you can see them wag their tails and jump into the water. Walking along the coast is quite pretty and you can walk on the marina to the other side of the beach as well. read more

I have come here over the years many times and have always enjoyed my visits. I have been here three times since covid. The people you see walking around are really friendly. I have yet to come here and not meet someone nice to chat with and I'm not usually one to chat! Visiting the fishing pier has also been a cool thing to do. I also really enjoy getting to see the ferry's come and go. There's are decent restaurants around for a good meal so it's easy to make a day trip in this area. read more

First, to be clear. This is one beach divided into two parts. One for people and one for off leash dogs. The dog beach is separated by a fence. This review is about the people beach. Okay, so this is a Puget Sound beach. If you're new to the area, never, ever in your wildest dreams expect a soft, sandy beach. Puget Sound is just too new (geologically) to have produced nice, soft sand beaches like you get at the coast. This beach has course sand and pebbles, some of them are rocks. There are also a lot of logs... a lot of logs. The logs are left over from the heyday of logging in the area when huge logging booms were towed around the sound and occasionally the chains would break and the logs would float away and wash up on shore. You'll find beaches all over Puget Sound that are littered with logs. It's not natural and I've often wondered why the various parks departments don't rid the beaches of them. However, they do make a nice place to sit - as long as you don't break a leg falling off one on your trek over the log pile to the beach. Having said all that which sounds pretty negative, it's a very lovely beach... for the Puget Sound area. The view is beautiful, there's a very nice grass area and the beach itself is long enough to stroll on. There's a paved path, though it's short and not made for roller skates but it's still nice if you just want to take in the view without climbing over logs. This is a very popular beach when it's warm and sunny so the parking areas can be full, but I usually find a place to park along the street that isn't too far away. Come down during storms and you may even see a 1 or 2 foot wave! It's high drama on the Puget Sound! BTW I've often found seal pups on this beach. It's against Federal Law to approach them. They're fine, mom is just out feeding and will be back soon, as long as you don't hover around Jr., that is. Oh, and they can even look.. well, kind of dead since they throw sand onto themselves. They're not dead, they're just dirty. read more

I have visited Marina Beach Park 3 times this year, and I loved each one of the 3 experiences - 1) in February with my best friend Ryan, when we sat on a log by the water, peacefully chatting and enjoying the beautiful sunset, 2) in May with a small group, when we sat together at one of the many picnic tables, chatted, and ate food we'd brought and/or made ourselves, and 3) about 2 weeks ago (in August) with my husband, when we walked along the beach together where the water lapped against the shore, pausing every now and then for a hug. Each time, I was able to find a parking spot near the dog park, and each time, it was busy but not overly crowded. Usually kids are playing happily along the shoreline or in the small park with slides etc, so it seems to be a good park for kids. It's a very beautiful and peaceful place to sit and watch the boats moving slowly along the water. This is not a good beach to have a longer walk or a run - there is a tiny walking path that is fairly heavily-used that you can walk the entire length of in about 5 minutes flat, and the length of sand isn't very long either. However, since neither long walks nor running were the purpose of any of my visits, that didn't bother me. This is a great place to take your dog to, or to chill on the beach with friends or family. read more

Had a relaxing and calming time at this dog park slash public park that ends on the water. Weird random trains go by sometimes and were pretty loud on weekdays but that is totally part of the charm. Also signs all over making sure folks only do off leash dogs in the specific dog park area. Small playground for the kiddos and little humans and a couple path trails and logs to climb and explore things close to the water. FREE PARKING FREE PARKING FREE EMPTY PARKING!!! DONE AND DONE! Was here during the day though around 3 or 4pm ish so cant speak about weekends. just creep pass all the marina boats and parking, drive around past about 3 or 4 parking lots to the end, and you will see the park and the prking for the park right at the end. Had a great self-care, nap time moment here and want to return. read more

This is a solid picnicking spot, for sure! Parking can be tricky on a beautiful sunny day, so be aware. Also, the only restroom facilities are the porter-potties located in the parking area and dog park area. Other than that, this place is a gem! Several picnic tables, three grill pits that I could locate, so be sure to stake your claim on a nice day. There's a super nice play area for the kiddos. You can't take a bad picture here. Ample views of the water, boats, and islands - all screams Pacific Northwest. read more

I love, love, love this dog park here. The dogs and owners are cool (well behaved dogs and people). The landscape is mostly sand and rocks - don't go after the pups have bathed...they'll need another one. There's access to the marina making it fun to watch the bold and adventurous pups chase a ball or stick int he water. Bring towels in the event your pup gets moved to run into the water (like my handsome guy)...thankfully my other sweet pup wouldn't even think of dipping her paw in the cold water. Highly recommend - there's also a small pup park enclosed. I feel safe letting my miniatures run around with the big girls and boys. All owners seem to watch their pups. But you will see crap that hasn't been picked up (so unsanitary - this pisses me off. read more

Wow wow wow... what a great place hangout on a sunny day! I went on Memorial Day so there were a ton of people, but the awesome thing was, parking so easy to find! Maybe I may have gotten lucky, but either way, I didnt see cars waiting in the lot for people to leave which is definitely a selling point for me as many of the beaches/parks on sunny days get extremely busy and parking tends to be hell. With that said, the sand was soft and the view was spectacular. Definitely coming back when the sun comes out again =) read more

This place has improved so much in a short period of time and I enjoy coming here a lot to kick some rocks or get my feet wet. I sometimes just sit on the bench and enjoy a nice morning before work and sometimes, some afternoons on the weekends. This is my "go-to" place to think creatively or think of nothing at all. I like the postings all over the place to remind me that this is made for anyone and everyone to enjoy but also be respectful at the same time so that we can continue to have these opportunities to have a nice park as such. There is also an off-leash small dog park which, is my favorite part of this park. Buddy, my four-legged favorite seems to agree with me on this. Anyway, it's a really nice, well-maintained area. As good as it gets otherwise, not only we should respect this area but also any other parks we go to for the sake of the little ones we all love. Don't forget, follow the rules please, keep Edmonds clean and all the other parks we go to visit. read more

The walking trail has stunning views of the ocean and it was cool to see all the different boats that are docked along the marina. The trail is paved and is a little over a mile down and back. It was stroller and dog friendly, our golden retriever got lots of love and smiles as we passed by the kind people of Edmonds. It was a beautiful place to walk and spend some time near the water. read more

My biggest issue with this park was that City of Edmond's site claims that Marina Beach park is a pet friendly area with an off leash park. Nowhere in their site do they specify that dogs are only restricted to only the off leash area. Signage specifies dogs are prohibited on walkways, beaches, and grass in the north park. That is not dog friendly. There may be any number of reasons for this decision but not having it posted on their site is unacceptable as it is generally understood that if there is an off leash area, there will be dogs around on leash elsewhere. We arrived with seven kids, two dogs and grandparents from out of state who ended up stuck in the dog park unable to see their grandkids play. It made for a sad outing that would have been different if their restrictions were listed on their site. Otherwise, the park is a lovely little spot tucked into city life. read more

This review is specifically for the off-leash area. Please take that into consideration! My dog loves the beach. He also loves to be off-leash. A park that combines the 2 and isn't Magusson? Oliver was a bit perplexed! I usually don't have much fun when we go to the dog park; I'm left sitting on a bench or log while Oliver sniffs out a few new friends or foes. He's not really one for fetch, if there's other things to do, so I'm just a bystander waiting until he's so tired that he comes back and barks at me until I figure out he's ready to leave. Today, here at the Marina Beach at low tide was the most fun I've had at the dog park. The off leash area is usually pretty small, but very well-kept. There is no barrier between big and small dogs, so be prepared to pull a rott or pit off of your poodle. Most dogs that I've seen are preoccupied with the water; fetching sticks or floaty toys. This always seems to leave my dog, who is still fairly young and not used to just heading out in any kind of water, alone on the beach staring forlornly out at the older dogs that are swimming and gambolling about. With low tide comes a large swath of rocky beach, covered in barnacles, lettuce kelp and tide-pools. If the tide is far enough out, there are a couple of really fun sand bars that are past this rocky denizen of crabs, clams and...whatever else clings to life in the shallows of Puget Sound. Oliver had a fantastic time researching each crevice and pool and running back to both my bf and me to make sure we were seeing all of the cool stuff that he was. We got onto the sand bar (after making him wade a bit, then carrying him) where he was entranced at dipping his feet and legs into the water and marvelling at seaweed passing by. I had a great time doing pretty much the same thing. I have to say that I'm suddenly inclined to know the tide schedule, so that we can go back when this occurs again. Watch yourself at red-tide season, though. read more

Marina Beach Park is wonderful little gem tucked away along the Edmonds waterfront. It is quickly becoming one of favorite places to go since there is a off leash dog park on one side, the Edmonds marina and boat launch on the other side and the train tracks that run right behind it, which make for great photos of any passing trains. The park itself isn't the biggest around but they have a big grassy area to have picnics, a good size kid playground and beautiful views of the Kitsap peninsula and Olympic mountains. The beach is clean and well maintained with tons of logs and driftwood to sit on and enjoy the views. There is also a beach volleyball set if you feel like playing. The parking is limited and does fill up fast during the summer. I would advise anyone to arrive early. On the other end of the marina there is a lot more parking, so if you park there you will have to walk a little bit, but on nice sunny days its worth it. read more

When we played around the park I just left my dogs retractable leash on the bench the day before yesterday and most likely someone took it(mysteriously lost?) We ended up leaving the park without a dog leash. So I suggest everyone keeping their dog leash with them lolll read more

One of my favorite parks. You can park at the playground and walk all the way from there to the ferry and even to the town center. If you want you can even take the ferry across to Kingston it's about half an hour and you only need to pay one way. My favorite place to park is by the dog park there's loads of shade parking available there for about 4 hours. If you're looking for bathrooms they have portables but also you can just walk to the ferry terminal they have a nice clean place there. read more

Perfect small beach to go to. I wouldn't advise swimming here since water isn't clean (lots of algae) but this is a nice place to walk/ chill along the waterfront. A lot of people come here to hunt for shells, crabbing, small playground area for the kids, and right next door is a fenced on off area for dogs to play and swim. I love coming here to watch the sunset. You can see the ferry boats cross and also other cargo ships. Also great waterfront restaurants near by like the Anthony's. And Plenty of parking!! read more

The Marina Beach Park in Edmonds has a little bit of everything. There's the beach (obviously), a sidewalk/pathway for walking along the pier, a playground for children, a decent sized grassy areas that's perfect for picnics, and an adjacent dog park. The only downside to the park is that it's so popular that parking can be a bit problematic at times, though if you're willing to park away from the park there are a few options within walking distance. The beach is your typical PNW beach, consisting of mixture of sand and little rocks, it's not the smoothest patch of beach ever. The grassy section isn't big enough to play any ball sports, nor would you be able to due to how many people are there - but it is a great place throw a frisbee, play catch, kick around a soccer ball, etc. The playground is decently sized and has a nice mix of things for kids to play on, though there is not a swing set. That being said, there's enough to keep kids busy. The pathway runs from the beach park, across the pier (next to restaurants) and to the other beach area - so you could walk from one beach to the other. This park is one of my favorite on-the-water areas to go in the Lynnwood/Edmonds area. read more

My friend and I took her dog to the off-leash area here last weekend and I was pretty impressed by the location, the proximity to the water, and the huge space. There is plenty of room for the dogs to run around, play fetch, sniff each other, etc., while the owners have the ability to relax and check out the amazing view. It's fun to sit on a log and watch the ferries pass back and forth. There is no separate area for shy dogs, so be prepared to keep an eye on your dog if he/she tends to be this way. Some of the dogs are more aggressive and some owners are a little more lazy about keeping an eye on them. read more

Ahhhhh....I luv the smell of low tide in the morning....various dead/half decomposed sea mammals and crustaceans...ahhh..... mixed with the smell of fresh creosoted pilings...ahhhh..... Actually when the ferry comes blasting into the dock behind the wild-eyed drunken Captain there are plenty of things to do and see here. Seriously this place is a nice place to spend a typical Edmonds-kind of day, bask under the blue-gray skies or attempt to catch the last of the warmth from the fading Summer sunshine. Starch-boy, our son, luvs coming down to this beach, it's the first beach he searched with his first metal detector, he found a total of 3 pop can pull tabs, 2 pennies, a nickel, a railroad spike, and about 2 feet of broken cast iron pipe. Such a haul!! Pirate booty abound, somewhere.... Finds of huge portions and value not so much. Fun to watch all the dog owners in the off-leash area manage the dog fights and count the piles of leftovers... read more

Sunny Edmonds, hiding a dog park from me? How long did you think you could keep this secret form me?! When I heard the rumors around the dog park I felt a bit betrayed to be honest. Yes, I'm one of those dorks who enjoys ferry rides and happily will detour a trip to go through Edmonds. Down Admiral, over the rail road tracks and down the winding road behind and beyond the marina and dry dock, they've hidden a little gem of a park with no signage. The 'people' side of the park is nice and sandy with picnic tables and a beautiful view. Also somekind of kid play thingy and a small greenbelt to lay on. Popular spot for kites. The dog park entrance is an unmarked, double gate by a set of porta-potties. It did not disappoint. My pup blazed off triumphantly towards the water once inside. If the tide is in, it is a tad cramped; but the regulars are very friendly and there is a long stretch to play ball. There is still loads to see and smell for the dogs. My dog loves playing on the huge drift wood logs. If the tide is out, there is acres of space across slimy rocks and sand. Wonderful space to get out and run; however, keep an eye on your dog as they can run straight under the pier when the tide is out and end up joining the picnic tables on the 'people' park, which is strictly prohibited. Perfect place for a sunny afternoon when we don't feel like driving all the way out to Redmond or aren't in the mood for the crowds at Magnuson. I can stroll along the beach looking at shells while the dog entertains himself. The occasional clam spitting water is a newly found form of entertainment for my dog. WOW that can go for hours. The good: + Nice water station and ample doggie bags + Benches and drift wood to hang out while the dogs play + lots of space and things to discover + swimming is an option + amazing view for the people to enjoy The bad: + low tide smell depending on the day + parking can be tricky on nice days + sand in the car for the next month + the rocks/barnacles/shells can be hard on sensitive doggy feet, check those toes for cuts of irritation read more

Marina Beach Park - After good romp at Marina Beach dog park! - Parks Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I've been to both the park and the off-leash area, but this review is strictly for the OLA. I really liked it. It was spacious, but not HUGE, it wasn't like Marymoor or Magnusson, where it feels like an epic trip to go there. It is fenced in (partially) with double gates at the beginning. There is a big beach to play on, logs and rocks and lots of stuff for the dogs to jump on, over, and under. There are watering stations, which are nice. My issue with this place is that it is only partially fenced in, when the tide is out the dog can go under the piers and escape. The area that IS fenced in, the fence is gapped at the bottom and my ten pound terrier puppy wiggled underneath with no issue whatsoever. I'd recommend this park to bigger dogs or dogs that stick close and know what "come" means, for those of you that have dogs like mine, stay at another location unless you want your dog on a leash the whole time. read more
