Manchester State Park
Score8.2Compact Puget Sound park with rocky salt‑beach, driftwood, intertidal pools and historic coastal battery ruins overlooking Admiralty Inlet and the Olympic Mountains. Best at low tide for foreground texture and at sunrise/sunset for warm light or dramatic winter waves. Small day‑use parking (Discover Pass required for vehicles); short trails and stairs to beach, relatively uncrowded on weekdays. Military emplacements add architectural interest and scale.
