About

This public ocean beach in Washington sits about 5.5 miles from Friday Harbor. It has parking and charges no fee. Swimming is not allowed, so plan a visit around the shoreline itself rather than a dip. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. A nearby weather station at Friday Harbor records typical July and August highs of about 72 to 73°F, with only six to eight wet days a month, compared with around 16 in the winter months. Several trails lie close by. Morning Ridge Trail and Turtleback South Trail are each about 2.2 miles away, and Lost Oak Trail is about 2.4 miles away. Paddlers can find the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite for human powered boaters roughly 2.5 miles off.
