Tips from locals
Take a 3 hour hike or a short stroll along the water with views of Vashon Island. You can also do the 5 mile drive with view points of Gig Harbor, Bainbridge Island, Tacoma Narrows bridge, etc.
Also within Point Defiance Park, this is a great PNW beach to visit. Like most PNW beaches, it's not sandy, but there are boats to watch, driftwood to climb on, and if you're feeling brave, you can take a dip in the (usually very cold) Puget Sound.
