This past Saturday our family went to Sequalitchew Beach in DuPont, Washington, at low tide. We had a wonderful time! First we parked in the DuPont Civic Center parking lot at 1700 Civic Drive, DuPont, WA 98327. Then we looked for the trail marker for the Sequalitchew Creek Trail and walked down to the beach. It took us about 45 minutes to walk down there. You can get down to the beach faster, but we paused to look at things, such as plants and damselflies, along the way and to take pictures.
At the end of the trail, to get to the beach, you walk through a short tunnel which runs under the railroad, and then wow, what a gorgeous view awaits!

One of the things I really wanted to do on our trip was to walk out to the old cement boat I had heard about from another mom at homeschool co-op. Looking around we spotted it far across the beach to the south (you can see it in both the picture above and the one below). The beach was a little uncomfortable at times to walk on due to being rocky, wet part of the time, and rather slanted much of the time, but it wasn't too bad. We looked at things along the way such as we saw a blue heron, a little crab, and some pretty flowers. It took us about half an hour to reach the beginning of the sand jetty.
