Strawberry Bay Falls (Third Beach Falls)

Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Olympic National Park (NPS) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

Strawberry Bay Falls (Third Beach Falls) drops about 100 feet. That makes it the 210th-tallest documented waterfall in this inventory, taller than roughly 73% of the falls listed here. Height comes from published land-manager and survey records, not from our own measurement.
The Third Beach Trail reaches it about 3.6 miles (out-and-back), rated moderate. The nearest town is La Push. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Olympic National Park (NPS) for closures and current conditions.
November to May (rainy season, fullest flow). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
