DIRECTIONS TO SITE: This beach is boat access only. There is no upland access to this beach. The uplands and all of the beach above mean low water (approximately the plus three foot tide line) are private. Harvesters are advised to stay well below mean low water and to harvest on minus tides as low on the beach as they can to avoid trespassing. Triton Cove Tidelands is a very good harvest alternative to Beacon Point and is only about a mile north of Beacon Point. It is accessible by land from Highway 101. A good boat-only beach alternative is South Tekiu Point. The north boundary of Beacon Point beach is about a half mile south of the north tip of Triton Head. The south boundary of this beach is about 600 yards south of the row of pilings (old pier) at Beacon Point. The row of pilings is the approximate midpoint of this beach. Neither boundary is well marked.

Nearest boat ramps: Triton Cove State Park ramp (located south of Brinnon on Highway 101) is about one half nautical mile by boat to Beacon Point. There is a fee for boat launching and parking at Triton Cove State Park.

FACILITIES: None. There are vault toilets and water at Triton Cove State Park. There are facilities for boaters at Pleasant Harbor Marina.
