A great place for artifact hunting, Titlow Beach offers pilings, walls and crevices to explore. Make sure you see the pillars of white sea anenomes on the posts. Fantastic. Pacific Octopus are known to be around as well!

Set up equipment on picnic tables and walk down a hill to the beach.

Titlow Beach is also known as 6th Avenue Dock.

Titlow is found on the shores of the Tacoma Narrows. Head North on  Highway 16 from I-5 in Tacoma as if you are heading to Gig Harbor.  Just before the ol' Galloping Girdy (The nickname of the previous bridge span-- look it up on the Internet!), exit and take a left on Jackson Ave.  Turn right on 6th Street, and wind your way down to the park.
