Fay Bainbridge State Park

Fay Bainbridge State Park is a 17-acre marine park with 1,420 feet of saltwater shoreline featuring sandy beaches on the northeast corner of Bainbridge Island. From the beach you'll relish the sweeping views of Puget Sound, the Cascade Mountains and two volcanoes, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.

For visitors to Seattle, state park camping is a great way to experience some of Washington's best outdoor activities. Popular pastimes at the park include beachcombing, kite flying, boating, bird watching, camping, saltwater fishing, crabbing and scuba diving.

Conveniently, this park is open for camping year round.
