Magnuson

The shortest guarded window of the north-end beaches, June 27 to August 23, with a fixed dock and no diving board at all. That makes it the plainest swim on the list and the one to choose if you want water without a queue for a board. The wider park holds one of the city's permitted motorised boat launches, so the shoreline is shared.
