Located at the end of Port Williams Road north of Sequim, Marlyn Nelson Park offers a convenient saltwater boat launch into Dungeness Bay. The facility features a concrete boat ramp suitable for vessels 18 feet or shorter, free parking near the beach, picnic tables, and a vault toilet. The small, 1-acre park includes rocky beach access, making it an accessible starting point for kayakers and small boat operators exploring the bay.
Paddlers launching here can explore the scenic waters of Dungeness Bay and access nearby paddling destinations, including the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge and Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge. The proximity to Dungeness Forks Campground (within 10 miles) makes this a good day-use or multi-day trip option. The parking area accommodates both vehicles and small trailers, though space is limited. Plan to arrive early during peak season, and note that this is a vault toilet facility with no other amenities nearby.
