Known forfreshwaterlake washingtonhidden gemneighborhood beach
A quieter Lake Washington beach tucked beneath the charming Madrona neighborhood, offering a small sandy strip, calm swimming water, and a dock for jumping. The Madrona Park setting includes picnic shelters and a bathhouse, and the nearby Madrona neighborhood has excellent coffee and dining. It feels genuinely local and less overrun than Madison Park. Street parking can be tight on sunny days.
