Hiking
West Point Lighthouse is one of the best spots in Discovery Park. You can sit on the rocks and enjoy the stunning views of Puget Sound while watching the passing sailboats. It is a great place to take some great photos, and if you're lucky, catch a seahawk diving into the water to catch a fresh fish.

This is the historic West Point Lighthouse, which was built in 1881 and is still operational today. Not only will you be able to appreciate this picturesque lighthouse but also the stunning panoramic views from this headland. The trail here is well-marked and mostly flat, with some stairs and elevation changes as you descend and ascend from the beach. The best time to visit is from January to November, when the weather is mild and the park is open from dawn to dusk.
