Third Beach

Third Beach is an east-facing anchorage tucked near the mouth of Third Beach Harbor, offering calmer, low-wave conditions that make dropping the hook here a pleasure. To get ashore, you'll find a wild, driftwood-strewn beach backed by towering coastal forest — the kind of place that feels genuinely remote even when it isn't. A 1.3-mile trail winds up through fog-draped trees and climbs 200 feet, rewarding you with a proper sense of adventure if you feel like stretching your legs.
