Water Activities
Explore the beach, lagoon and trails at Titlow
Titlow Park pairs a saltwater beach on the Tacoma Narrows with a lagoon and short trails, which makes it an easy stop for shoreline walking and wildlife watching.
On-the-water activity: conditions, tides, currents and cold water change quickly. Check the operator's current conditions, wear the required safety gear, and do not go out beyond your experience.
The Narrows has powerful currents. Stay out of the channel and keep to the beach unless you are an experienced cold-water diver or paddler.
