{{quotation|game|Embark Beach serves as a staging ground for the [[Zaishen Order]]. Heroes from the world over gather here to find allies and fight back against the threats facing [[Tyria (world)|Tyria]].}}

[[Embark Beach]] is an [[outpost]] run by the Zaishen Order. Every [[Cooperative Mission]] outpost, and [[Eye of the North]] [[town]] and outpost is accessible from this location if it is already available to the [[character]]. The outpost is intended to make it easier for people to form [[party|parties]] with players from outside their [[guild]] or [[alliance]].

==Getting there==
The available methods for getting here depend on several factors:
* If you have unlocked a [[Port]] town, use [[Map travel]] and click the boat icon on the [[World Map]] to select Embark Beach from the list. If Embark Beach doesn't show up in the list, travel to the [[Great Temple of Balthazar]] first, then use Map travel to go to Embark Beach.
* If you have completed a campaign, or if you have unlocked travel to all campaigns, you can talk to any [[Zaishen Scout]] (if there is one at your current location). {{verify}}
* If you haven't unlocked a port town, you can only get there by joining the party of someone who meets the requirements to use a Zaishen Scout, while they use a Zaishen Scout to travel to Embark Beach.

== Exits ==

How you can quickly exit depends on whether or not you have a [[Port]] town unlocked:
* If you have, you can exit via [[Map travel]] to select a different unlocked outpost in the [[Battle Isles]], or click the boat icon to select any unlocked Port town.
* If you have not, you can only speak to the appropriate travel NPC for your Campaign and click a place your character has been before in the dialog choices (usually, one of the first choices).

== Notes ==
* Embark Beach is the only outpost in the Battle Isles that is inaccessible to [[PvP-only character]]s.
* This outpost is not accessible to characters on trial [[account]]s.
* Once your character has a [[Port]] town unlocked, it is possible to go to Embark Beach without ever speaking to a [[Zaishen Scout]]; just use [[Map travel]] to go to the [[Great Temple of Balthazar]], then use it again to go to Embark Beach.
* If you have a party of 8 formed in a Factions (Cantha) location and wish to do a mission for that number of people in Prophecies (Tyria) it is generally quick to get there via Map travel, rather than using Embark Beach (provided all party members have both Prophecies and EoTN available); the party leader just brings up the [[World Map]] to click on the [[Asura Gate]] to travel to [[Boreal Station]], then uses Map travel again to travel to the mission outpost.
{{anomaly|The boat is in the wrong position on the [[compass]] and [[Mission Map]].}}

== Trivia ==
* Introduced in the [[Feedback:Game updates/20110303|March 3, 2011 update]].
* This outpost is located in the same spot originally planned for the [[Xunlai Market]] (an earlier planned feature that was never implemented).<ref>[http://wiki.guildwars.com/index.php?title=Feedback_talk%3AJohn_Stumme&diff=2238093&oldid=2238092 Comment by John Stumme], Guild Wars Wiki</ref>
* Until the [[Feedback:Game updates/20110310|March 10, 2011 update]], there were two copies of Hesham (rune trader) in the outpost.
**The second Hesham was renamed into "Mahseh", which is "Hesham" backwards.
* [[Corporal Bane]] and his [[KT29-Moahawk|helicopter]] appear in Embark Beach during [[April Fools' Day]] from [[April Fools' Day 2011|2011]] onward.
* If you look at the position of the people in the Elonian Camp, they make a smiley face.
