Foulweather Bluff is a Nature Conservancy trail in Hansville. The area is a nature preserve -- no bikes, dogs, or camping here. It consists of marsh, forested trail and 3800 feet of beach.
Due to the short hike from road to beach, it's a family hike favorite (I first "discovered" it long ago via my daughter's preschool).
Go at low tide, and you'll find anemones. I've also seen harbor seals, bald eagles, herons and other types of bird here as well as the occasional deer on the beach.
Be aware that parking is on a pullout on the side of the road on Twin Spits Road and that trail markers are not easily visible from the road.
We wrote a post about this route here before we resumed posting GPX routes.
2. "Bike Rack" tree
THIS is the bike lockup for the trail...a tree. Hope your lock fits and that you feel comfortable with this lockup situation. The trail is NOT for cycling, so if you ride your bike, you'll need to leave it here.
3. Foulweather Bluff Sign
Informational sign at the trail.
4. Foulweather Bluff Sign
This is a sign right before the path that takes you down to the beach.
6. Start
The trailhead is NOT well marked. You'll find a pullout on the side of the road here when you park, then walk in a bit to access the trailhead.
7. End
This was an out-and back hike with some beach walking, so the end is near the beginning.
8. Parking
Parking is in a pullout on the side of the road. The trail is NOT well marked from the street so you'll need to slow down and watch for the turnout if you haven't been here before. Unless you go during a slow time, watch for other cars parked on the side of the road and you'll know your in the right place. Parking is limited.
