Saltwater State Park

Summary: Public park requires a $10.00 park entrance fee (or use a Washington State Discover Pass). A shallow sandy beach entry leads to a 300 yard surface swim (varies with tide) to a buoy that marks sunken wreck, and the start of the dive. Descend about 25', where the bottom continues to drop off to 80'-90'. East/west as well as North/south rope lines to follow. Marked lines lead to three parallel artificial reef structures made of boulders and concrete pipes. The reef is also a protected marine sanctuary and harvesting is not allowed.
