Located on the bank of the River Chionthar, the Ravaged Beach is dominated by the wreck of a nautiloid. Corpses of fishermen and Intellect Devourers dot the area. There are several makeshift docks, but both them and the fishing boats that used them seem to have been destroyed. To the west sits a door to the Dank Crypt, while to the north is the Emerald Grove.
