North Beach, Sand beach in Port Townsend, United States
North Beach extends along the Puget Sound coastline with dark sand shores and waters reflecting the Olympic Mountains in the distance.
The beach has served as a natural harbor since the 1850s, when sailing vessels would anchor in its protected waters during maritime trade.
Local residents gather at North Beach for various seasonal celebrations, including summer solstice events and winter shore walks.
The beach remains open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, offering free parking spaces and multiple access points from Water Street.
Marine researchers frequently visit North Beach to study the diverse population of shore birds that nest in the surrounding wetland areas.
