Lisabuela's Beach: A Family's Guide to Saltwater Fun and Park Adventures

Nestled along the western shore of Vashon Island, Lisabuela Park offers families a peaceful escape with stunning natural beauty and level, easy access. This hidden gem is a small but charming waterfront park that creates the ideal setting for relaxation, family time or just exploring Puget Sound.

The park's mixture of sandy and gravel beach and ample driftwood makes a perfect spot for kids to explore, build sandcastles, or search for shells while parents soak in breathtaking views of Colvos Passage and the Olympic Mountains. Picnic tables are conveniently scattered throughout the area, encouraging families to enjoy meals surrounded by towering trees and the soothing sound of waves. For those who enjoy boating, the park also has easy water access, making it a great launch point for small watercraft like kayaks.

Lisabuela Park shines as a family-friendly destination due to its serene atmosphere and flat open green space. It's not usually crowded, allowing for quiet moments to connect with nature. The combination of its waterfront location, peaceful ambiance, and outdoor amenities ensures that both parents and children can create lasting memories in this picturesque slice of Vashon Island.

This five and a half acre park is located at the end of Lisabuela Road but consider a stop at Aeggys Farm Stand along the way at 13609 220th for some seasonal fresh produce and flowers or farm fresh
Popsicles in the summer.
