This weekend we took Sydney to Richmond Beach in Shoreline. This is a park I’ve been to several times to kiteboard, but it looks like there are some improvements underway that will make it an even better place to host a picnic with friends.
There isn’t a lot of room to roam around, so if your goal is to get in some sort of a hike before enjoying the beach then this probably isn’t the place for you. However, there is a nice little trail to a lookout above the beach that I have always been curious about. There’s a little grassy area up there for picnicing or perhaps a nice game of bochee ball.
After checking out the lookout, we cruised down to the beach and let Sydney run around off leash. I don’t think this is officially allowed, but there weren’t really too many people around. Sydney did find a couple of new lab friends and promptly forgot she was with us. Luckily, the lab owners thought it was funny that pug wanted to play with their dogs.
All in all, I’d recommend checking Richmond Beach out of you’re in the area. Especially during the summer time. I picture this beach making a perfect evening BBQ spot as the sun sets.
