La Push – Second Beach

This wide sandy beach on the Olympic Coast offers playful waist- to head-high waves ideal for longboarding and cruising. Logs and driftwood line the shore, and cold, clear water keeps crowds thin. Access requires a forest trail hike with scenic sea stacks and sea caves.

La Push – Third Beach
