third beach印象

This 1.7 mile trail to the beach is like walking in a dream. We were there about an hour before sunset, making our way so my boys could see the pacific sunset. I let them go ahead and walked the trail in silence. It was so meditative and dream like. I would do this every day if I lived there. The boys loved the beach, searching for rocks in the sweet stream that ran into the ocean. This is my favorite memory of the northern Washington leg of our trip. The beautiful trees and the silence on the trail morphs you into one with nature instantaneously. It was like walking in a dream.

Stunning! Being from the busy east coast, it was so nice to just relax and listen to the waves. Quite the drive from Seattle but it was worth every minute!

A wild Pacific beach. It was not raining and I had it to myself for the most part. There is a large number of tide pools. Bring tide tables if you want to hike far down the beach so you don't get surprised by high water on your return.

Fantastic beach, the walk through the forest to get to it is also great. Make sure to walk to the far end of the beach so you can see the waterfall.

Camped here for one night - what a dream! It was drizzly and cloudy and cold and gray, just as you might imagine. But it made for a stunning backdrop. An otter ran past our camp and frolicked in the water in front of us. You can make campfires galore with all the driftwood. There are rocks covered in starfish when the tide goes out. It's just gorgeous and a campsite I won't ever forget.Bring your own wine/whiskey/etc or you'll be sad. And collect enough drinking water while it's light out so you don't have to worry about it at night (bring containers!).

This is the third time our family has hiked along the primitive coast of Olympic National Park. The hike to Third Beach and down to Toleak Point is our favorite. With younger children, we camped at Scott Creek, not so far, and has a water source (to purify, not potable). This time we backpacked down to Toleak Point. It was crowded with campers, so we purified water and hiked back to Strawberry Point (no water source) to camp. Great tidal pooling. Backcountry camping permit and bear barrel is required, but easy to obtain at the ONP office in Port Angeles or Forks. Pick up a tide chart while you are there, and know how to use it! Wild primitive coastline, great to explore! The hike from the parking trailhead to Third Beach is 1.4 miles through beautiful forest. Third beach is sandy with large driftwood piles. Very beautiful, and worth the hike. Toleak Point is 6 miles, but there are closer places to camp. The overland trails are very steep and can be muddy. Ropes and cable ladders are often available, although not in perfect repair. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS HIKE WITHOUT A TIDE CHART AND WATCH. There are headlands which are impassable except at low tides. You can get cut off and have to wait for the tide, so plan ahead.

Second Beach was my favorite hike and beach, but Third Beach is well worth a visit too. There is a small waterfall that comes off the hillside at the end of the beach and we had the opportunity to see many tidal pools also. Even saw a beached whale (stinky, but still something we'd never seen before).

The is another good beach and worth the hike but I would start with the other beaches and see this one last if you don't have enough time to see them all. It's a bit more difficult trail because of elevation changes but it's worth it, just wear the right shoes.

Sea Urchins abound but it is the 9 legged starfish that blew me away. We must have seen at least 6 different species of starfish. The tide pools were breathtaking
