Agates were once plentiful enough at Agate Bay, just west of Crescent Bay on the Strait of Juan de Fuca, to give the beach its name, and agate still weathers from the local basalt alongside variously colored chert and jasper. The setting on the northern Olympic Peninsula makes it one of the few documented agate beaches on the strait.
