After spending a bunch of time at Crescent Beach, we decided to explore one of the other beaches listed in Gem Trails. We moved on to the Harrison Beach Campground. They charged $5 for a day pass. We just filled out an envelope, put in $5, and dropped it into a box, and parked in one of the cam sites. It was a short walk down to the beach. The beach is covered with smooth rounded rocks. We walked around the beach picking up jasper and agate. There is tons of them here. My feet got soaked from the waves that repeated snuck up on me. The tide was slowly coming in covering many of the best rocky areas. But we left with plenty of agates and pieces of jasper. Harrison Beach Campground is located at 299 Harrison Beach Road, Port AngelesWA98363.
Interestingly, the TomTom GPS that I had in my car could not seem to get a satellite lock while in this area. I am not sure why. Maybe it was just an aberration. Or maybe there was something in the area jamming my GPS. I don’t know.
