About
This public ocean beach in Washington sits about 10 miles from Roche Harbor. It has a parking area and no entry fee. Swimming is not allowed, so plan on a shoreline visit rather than time in the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. In July and August, typical averages from a nearby weather station at Olga show highs around 69°F, lows near 54°F, and only about five wet days a month. Winter brings highs in the mid-40s and rain on roughly half the days. Several hikes start within a few miles. North Trail is about 1.4 miles away, Red Trail about 1.9 miles, and Turtleback South Trail about 3.2 miles. Paddlers can also reach the Cascadia Marine Trail Campsite at Obstruction Pass, about 8 miles off.
