Best time to visit Leadbetter Point State Park
Late spring through early fall, roughly May to September, offers the driest weather, longest daylight, and best trail conditions after the rainy season. Summer brings cool marine air and generally mild highs, which suits beach walks and birding. Shoulder seasons in April and October deliver quieter trails and strong migratory shorebird activity, though trails can be muddy. Winter is wet and windy, with frequent closures of the sensitive plover nesting zone typically in effect from spring through late summer.

Things to do at Leadbetter Point State Park
- Dune Forest Loop Trail EasyRV parking available
The Dune Forest Loop is a flat trail winding through shore pine and spruce forest near the main trailhead. It provides a shaded introduction to the park's coastal habitats and connects to other trails leading toward the beach and bay.
- Bearberry Trail to the Pacific Beach ModerateRV parking available
The Bearberry Trail cuts west from the main parking area through dunes and wetlands to the open Pacific Ocean beach. Expect soft sand in places and keep to marked paths during the snowy plover nesting season.
- Weather Beach Trail EasyRV parking available
The Weather Beach Trail offers another route from the interior of the park out to the Pacific shoreline. It passes through dune grassland where hikers often spot shorebirds and songbirds.
- Willapa Bay Shoreline Walk EasyRV parking available
A short walk from the day-use area leads to the calmer waters of Willapa Bay on the east side of the peninsula. The tidal flats attract herons, ducks, and migrating shorebirds, making it a favorite for birders.
- Birdwatching for Snowy Plover and Shorebirds EasyRV parking available
Leadbetter Point is one of Washington's most important sites for the threatened western snowy plover, and the dunes are protected during nesting season. Spring and fall migrations also bring sandpipers, plovers, and waterfowl in large numbers.
- Beachcombing on the Pacific Shore EasyRV parking available
Miles of sandy Pacific beach stretch south from the park's access points, offering room to walk, look for driftwood, and watch the surf. Stay on wet sand during nesting season and obey posted area closures.
- Willapa National Wildlife Refuge Access ModerateRV parking available
The northern tip of the peninsula lies within Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, accessible on foot from the state park. Hikers can continue beyond the state park boundary into refuge lands for more remote dune and marsh scenery.

How to get to Leadbetter Point State Park
From Portland, Oregon, the park is about 3 hours, 160 miles northwest via US 30 and US 101 to the Long Beach Peninsula, then north on Sandridge Road and Stackpole Road to the park entrance. Seattle is roughly 3.5 to 4 hours south, around 180 miles, via I-5 and SR 4. The route is mostly lowland highway with no tunnels or mountain passes, but Stackpole Road narrows as it approaches the park and large rigs should take the final miles slowly and watch for soft shoulders. The nearest regional airport for fly-and-rent trips is Portland International Airport (PDX).
