Arcadia Boat Launch
About
Arcadia Boat Launch is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 7 miles from the town of Herron Island. It serves as a boat launch rather than a swimming beach, and swimming is not allowed here. A fee is charged to use the launch. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Shelton show July and August highs around 78 to 79°F with only about five wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the upper 40s and rain on 20 days a month. For more time outdoors, Mill Creek offers canoeing about 5.5 miles away, and the Boardwalk hike is about 5 miles off. The Loop Trail and the Evergreen Beach Trail are both within about 8.5 miles.
