What to expect
Third Beach is a scenic destination with a 1.4-mile trail that descends through a coastal forest and ends at a sandy beach. The trail is 1.4 miles long and has an elevation change of 240 feet. The beach offers stunning ocean views, sea stacks, and opportunities to spot bald eagles and seals. The area is also known for its whale migration in March/April and October. The trail is considered easy and is suitable for families. The beach can be explored at low tide, and there are also overland trails that aid hikers in navigating sections of the coast that are not feasible or safe to hike at shore level
