Compact coastal park with preserved 19th‑century military buildings, grassy bluffs and a driftwood‑strewn beach overlooking Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mountains. Excellent for combining historical architecture with coastal landscapes and water reflections. Visit at golden hour or low tide for dramatic light and exposed foreground. Small parking lot off Old Fort Townsend Rd; mostly day‑use trails, generally accessible but some slopes to the beach. Weekdays and early mornings are least busy.
