Joemma Beach

Joemma Beach State Park is a 106-acre, marine camping park with 3,000 feet of saltwater frontage on Sound Puget Sound's Key Peninsula. A boat comes in handy here, as the park is known for its bounty of fish. Joemma Beach has the only boat launch with vehicle parking on Key Peninsula, in addition to a pier, dock and mooring buoys. Kayakers, canoeists and paddlers will find salty bliss on the bobbing waters, and landlubbers can look for giant red sea stars at low tide. Camping is an uncrowded affair at this park; only 19 primitive tent sites, two first come first served hiker-biker sites and two first come first served Cascadia Marine Trail sites exist. So, pitch your tent for a delightfully rustic experience. When you head home on the inland waterways or winding roads, you will feel you've discovered something special, right in the center of the sound.
