This prohibition is in place until October 31, 2025, or until the order is rescinded.
Jordan River Regional Park is a 187-hectare coastal forest park along the Juan de Fuca Strait. It's a favorite spot for locals and offers beautiful views of the Olympic Peninsula. A short walk through the forest on a trail and down a set of stairs takes you to Sandcut Beach, a long cobblestone shore along the Juan de Fuca Strait.
