Third Beach — Wednesday, Sep. 3, 2025

Olympic Peninsula > Pacific Coast

I've hiked Second Beach a million times and decided to finally make the stop at Third Beach to check it out, and I'm so glad I did. It was super straightforward and in great condition. We got out to the beach right at high tide, so we decided not to go very far south along the beach, but opted instead to sit up in the shade and watch the fog roll in at Second Beach just to the north of us. 

The hike back up was much easier than I anticipated. I'd thought it would be more of a slog coming back up, but no, it wasn't as much of a climb as I had in my head.

so many beautiful mushrooms along the trail!
