Point No Point Repair
Efforts to restore and improve the shoreline at Point No Point Park following the damage sustained during the 2022/2023 winter storms continue. This multi-phase project is designed to repair the beach and infrastructure while enhancing shoreline resilience for future conditions. Phase 1 – Repairs Completed Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2023 and included importing sand and rock materials to restore the north beach to pre-storm elevations. Phase 2 – Improvements Underway Phase 2 is a larger effort to improve the beach and shoreline beyond their original condition. Planned improvements include: - Adding additional material to further increase beach elevation - Rebuilding the rock revetment wall in front of the lighthouse - Planting native vegetation to improve long-term shoreline stability
All required permits have been cleared with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Washington State Department of Ecology, and the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Final permit approval is pending from the U.S. Coast Guard. Once permits are finalized, construction is anticipated to take place during the designated in-water work window from August 15 to October 15, 2025. The formal bidding process for construction services is now underway. Park Access & Safety To protect the shoreline in the interim, the super-sack sandbag wall will remain in place. However, this limits the entrance road to a single-lane width, preventing safe two-way traffic and emergency vehicle access. As a result: The main entrance road and parking lot at Point No Point Park remain closed. - Alternative access is available: - WDFW parking lot (OPEN) - Small overflow lot near WDFW lot – 880 ft. (0.15 mi.) walk via paved road - Trailhead at Thors Road – 2,500 ft. (0.5 mi.) walk via dirt trail to the beach stairs
We ask all visitors to respect nearby private property: - Do not stop or loiter on private tidelands - Stay within public access areas - Use caution as vehicles may be entering or exiting the area
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to restore and improve this treasured shoreline park.
