Head straight out for about 100 meters, and you'll find a nice drop-off.
This is a gravel pad at the end of the road. There is a residence to the left, so please be very quiet.
You'll come to an intersection of three roads. Take the middle one.
Keep a close eye on the road signs listed above. Emmonds has a well-maintained dirt road.

The images on the page here make it look easy to get into the water, not so.. there is lots of round rocks about the size of a softball all over the place, making it difficult to walk out to get into the water. My advice, CRAWL! It's a bit tricky to get in and out here. Watch your step. It's pretty much all sand bottom once you get a few feet from the shoreline. With little to see, except the odd fish. There isn't really much of a drop off until you get to the island out front of the beach. On the right end of the island the wall goes down to about 85+ feet. Lots of animal and plant life once your near the island.
