Be sure to watch the tides and make sure that if you start a downwinder session that the tide is fairly far out, so that you have some beach area to land on. The water can come right up to the edge of the rocks at the railroad tracks at high tide.

Hazards:	Other

The only obstacles you may face are crowds on the beach, and possibly a few pilings, but otherwise the area should be fairly conducive for a landing.

This is probably the best spot for beginners to do downwinders on Northerlies, due to the fact that the wind is side/sideonshore, meaning that the wind would most likely carry you back into shore (there are no guarantees though). Best for downwinders on Northerlies on a fairly low tide. The beach curves, making several directions sideshore.

Transport:	Car
Access:	Short Walk

Get directions from

Seattle, Tacoma airport. From I-5: taking exit 173 to Northgate Way and turning west. After crossing Meridian, Northgate Way becomes NW 105th Street and crosses Aurora Ave. N (Highway 99). Turn right on Greenwood Ave N. and left on NW 110th Street (look for the crosswalk lights above the street). After 6 blocks, NW 110th Street becomes NW Carkeek Park Road and winds down into the valley for 1/2 mile to the park entrance. Watch for the "rainbow-colored" department of parks sign on your left.
