Murdock Beach Access

Murdock Beach Access provides public beach access on the Strait of Juan de Fuca with a short, well-maintained trail from a gravel parking area off SR-112 near Joyce.

The beach is notable for fossil and rock hunting, featuring concretions and fossilized shells from the Pysht and Makah formations; visit at low tide for maximum exposed shoreline.

A toilet is located at the parking lot, and the site is day-use only with nearby camping available at Lyre River Campground.
