Golden Gardens (Seattle)

This park is a super sandy (not rocky) beach park. There is a nice field for running and playing in before we head to the sand and a lovely wetland area with a cute bridge.

With this being a beach, the best lighting is going to be morning or an hour and a half before sunset.

Quick note, dogs are sadly not allowed on the beach itself. :-(

This park even has bathrooms! It is a great park to choose if you are looking for Seattle family photos at a beach.
