Weatherwax Trail links coastal forests, dunes, freshwater ponds and a wide Pacific beach—great for varied coastal landscape shots, reflections, shorebirds and dramatic skies. No entry fee; trailhead parking is available near Overlake St NE. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm light and long shadows; stormy days and fog yield moody seascapes. Boardwalk sections are easier on-foot; some sandy stretches require sturdy shoes.
