Point Robinson is a 10.0-acre shoreline park and historical and marine conservancy located on the east shore of Maury Island off of SW Point Robinson Road overlooking the East Passage. The site has provided fog and lighthouse service for vessels since 1885. The lighthouse has been fully automated since 1978. The Vashon Park District owns the upland portion of the park; the remainder is on long-term lease from the U.S. Coast Guard.
The property conserves an extensive sandy beach shoreline that wraps around the point, a saltwater marsh, and upland woodlands. Walking trails and a few picnic tables have been developed along the scenic shoreline, providing dramatic views of the East Passage, Tacoma, and Mt. Rainier, and, through the upper wooded slopes.
Pt. Robinson Stewards have fully restored the two Keepers' Quarters on the property for use as vacation rentals. All proceeds from these rentals go back into the park's restoration and maintenance. For additional information about renting the Keepers' Quarters, contact our Recreation Manager, Eric Wyatt at: 206-463-9602, lodgings@vashonparks.org, or you may view our calendars on VRBO.com to learn about current availability at our historic vacation rentals: Quarters A, and Quarters B.
