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.
