Budding botanists can identify a rich variety of trees, plants and flowers. Beach explorers will find starfish and crabs. While boarders chase the ultimate ride, birders can see a multitude of shore birds and raptors. Low tide at Dash Point provides ideal conditions for this activity, and this is a popular place for skim boarding camps, competitions and gatherings on the park's sandy shores. Low tide turns the sand flats into a play destination for locals, families with children and hip skim boarders surfing the shallow water.ĭash Point has become a hotspot for skim boarding, which consists of throwing a small, thin board into shallow water, jumping onto it and riding it like a cross between a surf board and a skateboard. The shoreline narrows at high tide, bringing anglers out to its pier. Set along the shoreline between Seattle and Tacoma, Dash Point State Park has plentiful year-round tent and RV sites, along with 11 miles of hiking trails.
