Lowest Low Tide at Golden Gardens

 

5/27/25 Golden Gardens Beach


A couple of days last week were the lowest low tides of the year – an ideal time to visit Golden Gardens Beach. Although it’s only about a 20-minute drive due west, I rarely get over there; I can’t even remember the last time I did. (According to my blog, it was 12 years ago!) I know Puget Sound isn’t exactly the coast, but I still feel fortunate that it’s such an easy drive to a spot where I can observe the moon’s strongest pull.

What I didn’t think about was how breezy it would be on the water. Underdressed on a beautiful, sunny day, I got chilled sketching in the strong wind, so I didn’t get around to beachcombing as I thought I might. It was enough to catch these little snippets of beach life.

  1. You know that I often head for the water since we have so many beach spots here. We've had a lot of wind here too, so even when it has been sunny it isn't very comfortable, especially by the water. I like your beach visitors...human and not.

    1. I love all your beach sketches! I don't have quite as many here, so I forget how windy it can be!
