Murdock Beach aka. "fossil beach" or "round rock beach" is a DNR maintained beach 9.2 miles beyond the Camp Hayden Rd. turn right off on hwy 112.   
They require a discovery pass for day use of the park. It is a short walk down to the beach from the parking area which includes a bathroom facility and information kiosk. The beach is known for it’s plenteous round rocks and wide variety of fossilized round rocks. These variably sized round formations are called "concretions" by geologists and have formed around plant life or various objects over the ages. You will notice many of these concretions protruding out of the exposed bank as you make your way west on the beach. Agatized fossils may also be found here. Craig Thomas found the agatized clam fossil illustrated below on 1.12.16. The beach is almost covered at high tide and should be most enjoyed at lowered tides when more of the beach is exposed. 

The youtube video below provides directions to Murdock Beach and hunting tips for agates, fossils and agatized fossil sea shells that can be found in the gravel beds on Murdock Beach. 

Rocks: If tides are right, you will find a wide expansive beach with many round rocks. The beach immediately off the trail and to the east offers more gravel beds where rocks and agates may be found. Most of the rocks are granite, basalt, quartz and jasper related. There are also a few specimens of orbicular jasper. If you sift through the gravels smaller agates along with agatized sea shells may be found. The round concretion fossils are quite diverse and amazing in their formations. ​

Sea Glass: the sea glass found here is not plenteous and mostly at a lower craft grade quality. ​

Southworth Ferry Dock Beach
 
Access: SE Sebring Dr., Port Orchard, WA
From Hwy 16 follow Sedgwick Rd. east toward the Southworth ferry dock. Enter Sebring immediate north or adjacent to the loading and unloading lanes for the Southworth ferry. There is limited parking along Sebring on the south side of the road before it drops down toward the end of the street. There is no parking further down the road closer to the beach.  No parking is allowed on the left side or north side of the road, which borders several private residences.  Depending on the tide there is limited beach to the left and right. The beach to the right flows under the Southworth ferry dock and beyond. 

​Beachcombing:
Intermixed rock beds with sand may be found on both sides of the elevated ferry dock.

Rocks- granite, basalt, quartz and jasper may be found. Agates are available but difficult to locate.

Glass- Much glass is available with minimal quality of frosting due to the limited wave action in this portion of the Puget Sound. Some moderate quality sea glass may be found depending on the amount of surf action it has experienced. Larger pieces will be found but show less frosting.
​
Shells- limited shells at various stages of brokenness.
