BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints

• Discovery Park is a 534-acres, the city's largest park. Set on Magnolia Bluff overlooking Puget Sound, the park is part of Seattle's City Park Marine Reserve System, meaning you should not take anything from the beach or tidepools and try not to disturb marine life.
• This fabulous urban park includes miles of protected tidal beaches, sand dunes, dramatic cliffs, forests, and streams. There are more than 11 miles of trails.
• If you're a bird watcher, download a copy of the birds of Discovery Park checklist before visiting the park; it's available on the Seattle Parks and Recreation website.
