Featured Beaches
3 spots
La Push — First Beach
Beginner friendlyLa Push (First Beach) delivers Olympic Peninsula's reliable spot rated 6/10 but fickle. Crescent of black sand at Quillayute River mouth features reef/cobblestone break.
La Push – Second Beach
IntermediateThis 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
IntermediateA bit more exposed than Second Beach, Third Beach offers longer rides and more powerful peaks. Access involves a 1.3-mile hike with a steep descent and driftwood crossing. Logs and rips demand caution, but the remote setting keeps crowds low.
