Tourist attractions

This beach is ideally situated for enjoying water activities, but as it is surrounded by major islands and other well known beaches, it is less frequented by tourists visiting the region. Swimming just off the beach is a good recreation activity. With a boat, one can explore the surrounding water if one has the right experience and equipment. If one is interested in knowing the fish varieties of the area, then one can try fishing. To relax one can stretch oneself on the beach and let the sound of waves soothe one’s tired nerves.
There are other interesting places to explore if one is visiting this beach. These are the Point Doughty that provides great views along with the Double Hill, which provides one with a little elevated view of the surrounding area. Another interesting place of visit is the Judd Bay. The other places of interest are the Fowler Reservoir Dam and the Orcas Island Golf Course, which is a nice place for golf enthusiasts who might not want to miss golf while touring the region.
One may also visit several neighboring beaches in the region. Some of these are the Kimple Beach, Green Bank, Chin-Chin-Tse-Tung Beach, Crescent Beach, and the Terrill Beach. All these beaches are within 2 to 6 miles from North Beach.
