Broke & Bougie
A secret spiral staircase, a rocky cove almost nobody else shows up to, and all the driftwood logs you need.
Holland Point, Dallas Road
More infoDallas Road gets the credit, but the real move is the detour most people walk past. Holland Point Park offers a grassy meadow and duck pond, yet the castle-like stone spiral staircase is what turns a stroll into a mission. Descend it to Spiral Beach, a secluded rocky cove where tide pools beg investigation and freighters drift across Juan de Fuca like a free screensaver. Act like you discovered it.
Start across the grassy sweep of Holland Point Park, duck pond, rocky shore, sea views, then find the wooded path and descend the castle-like spiral stairs almost everyone walks straight past. Down at Spiral Beach it's tide pools, driftwood logs and freighters drifting across Juan de Fuca, hardly a soul around. It's not for swimming; it's for sitting close on a log and pretending you discovered it. Budget about an hour, then climb back to the Dallas Road waterfront to keep wandering.
