Narrows Park:
The Narrows Park is one of the peninsula’s best-kept secrets. Situated on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows and south of the bridge, the 35-acre park features 1,200 feet of sandy-rock beach - and the best place to watch construction of the new Narrows Bridge. The Pierce County park underwent an extensive renovation in 2003 and reopened in June 2004. A paved road takes visitors inside to the landscaped grounds and beach. A walkway winds toward a gazebo and the sandy-rock beach. Two telescopes provide beach and bridge buffs alike a closeup view of the bridge and new construction.
"Though small and slightly hard to find, this beach is worth the search! It's 35 acres with 1200 feet of beach-front on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows. A long windy road through the trees does a nice job of building excitement as you get closer to the water. There's plenty of parking, a large grassy area, a gazebo, several benches and two telescopes for your bridge-viewing pleasure." Erin K from Gig Harbor, WA
