Route Description for South Beach Trail
Discovery Park is a gorgeous recreation park north of Seattle that is frequented by walkers, runners, bikers, and adventurers of all ages. The South Beach Trail takes you to the beach and back from the junction near the Birds Nest. You can use the Birds Nest and Lookout Beach guide to get you to this point if needed.
Begin from the junction. Take South Beach Trail, but don’t rush it- there are great viewpoints to see as soon as you’re on the trail. Keep left at the first junction and then pause for a moment at the Lookout Bench. The trail curves up and then turns left past the road. Follow it to the beach. When you’re ready to return, retrace your steps.
