A LITTLE FRESH AIR

Titlow to the bluffs: a coast walk.

Salt air, beach glass, and a turnaround that feels like a win.

Beach and bluffs along the Tacoma shoreline
Editorial story · Beach and bluffs along the Tacoma shoreline.

Tide timing matters more than mileage. Check the chart, walk out, wander back.

Check the tide first.

A low or ebbing tide opens up the beach; a high tide keeps you on the bluff trail. Conditions change daily.

Walk half the energy.

Turn while everyone still feels good. The return with the wind at your back is the reward.

Leave it better.

Pack out what you pack in, plus one extra piece. Beach etiquette keeps it good for the next crew.
