About the Business
Tacoma DeMolay Sandspit Nature Preserve is a picturesque park and tourist attraction located at 53 Bella Bella Drive, Fox Island, Washington, United States. This beautiful nature preserve features stunning views, wooded trails, picnicking areas, and water access for non-motorized watercraft. The park is managed by PenMet Parks with a focus on preserving natural features and protecting vegetation and wildlife.
One of the main priorities of this institution is the removal of failing shoreline armor along the sandspit beach to restore marine riparian vegetation and sediment processes. The park is part of the Cascadia Marine Trail and is used by the Washington Water Trails Association for non-motorized watercraft activities.
Visitors are encouraged to enjoy the park responsibly by following rules and regulations, such as not allowing off-leash dogs to run on the sandspit. Parking is limited to designated areas, and an on-site attendant is available during peak summer months to provide information and enforce park regulations.
For any questions or feedback, visitors can contact PenMet Parks at (253) 858-3400 or email [email protected] It is important to respect the rules of the park to ensure the preservation of this beautiful nature preserve for future generations to enjoy.

Reviews
"Calming spot to take a dip, check out some views, do some beach combing, or just relax on the beach. Small parking lot! Great spot for cold plunging! Join Puget Sound Plungers if you want to join others."
"Great spot for relaxing, walking the dog, jumping in the ice cold water or trying your hand as catching some salmon."
"One of my favorite beaches in Gig Harbor! There are some really interesting rocks made of different types of clay and it's always gorgeous here. Has a bit of sand too!"
"Beautiful little park. Limited parking. They do have an overflow lot but was closed when I visited. Thankfully was able to snag a parking spot. There is also only a port pottie on site. Was clean and was stocked with tp. The beach was amazing. Views were beautiful. Was very peaceful."
"Beautiful location and 1 of the only locations on earth you can view calcite concretions of the kind found on Fox Island. These "Fairy Stones" or "Clay Babies" are illegal to take from the Spit as well as taking them from the private beaches without permission from the owners. Please practice "Leave no trace" techniques and do not disturb or remove any housing of living creatures. NOTE: Display of "Clay Babies" is Located in the Museum at the center of the island. Used for reference to the calcite specimines often found at the spit."
