**Location & Access:** North Beach County Park is located in Port Townsend on the Strait of Juan de Fuca. This is a **boat-access-only site** with no public upland access to the beach. The landing area can be extremely dangerous, particularly due to tidal conditions and water dynamics typical of the Strait.
**Best For:** This site is suitable for experienced kayakers and boaters familiar with open-water conditions and tidal passages. The Strait of Juan de Fuca is a dynamic, open-water environment subject to strong currents, wind, and challenging conditions. Paddlers should be comfortable with exposure and have solid ocean kayaking skills before launching here.
**Nearby Resources:** Fort Casey Campground is located within 10 miles and offers camping options (reservations through Washington State Parks at parks.wa.gov). The site provides access to notable natural areas including Ebey's Landing National Historical Reserve and Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge. Before launching, check current conditions with local authorities and ensure you're prepared for the specific hazards of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
