Description

Added by Connor Smith

The Washington Coast is uniquely rugged. Cape Flattery epitomizes this fact.

Starting from the trailhead, the trail quickly descends down a wide gravel path. After about a quarter of a mile, you'll start to feel the ocean is close. Keep wandering through the woods on the board walks and emerge to see the wide open pacific. There is the clear main trail, but there are several little side trails that offer unique views of various coves. Definitely a photography dream out there. Be careful on the rocks if you venture out there as they will be slippery even when dry. There's no bathroom out there but there are several great spots for a picnic if the weather is nice. Cheers.

Cape Flattery Fever

One of my favorite places in the state! Have enjoyed many trips out here over the years. Highly recommend seeing this area from the water via boat or sea kayak if you can. So many untouched areas and so much wildlife to see.

Shi Shi Beach - Point of the Arches

Shi Shi offers an incredible reward for those who feel like venturing out a bit further and reaching a less accessible beach on the Olympic Coast, just be sure to time your hike with the low tide! The trail starts off near the fish hatchery on the Makah Indian Reservation. To get there from Port Angeles, drive 5 miles west on US-101. Take SR-112 west for 64 miles until you reach Neah Bay.

Explore Botanical Beach

This is a gorgeous beach with so much going on. It's a quick walk from the parking lot (about .8 miles), or you can do the entire Botanical Beach Loop which is 3.5km. Go at low tide for amazing tidal pools and exploring caves if the tide is at its lowest. You can beach hop and climb up to some amazing viewpoints, just be sure to be back before the tide comes back in! This beach is never cro...

Start at the north end of Ozette Lake and proceed right, following signs to the mostly flat trail leading to Cape Alava. Be sure not to head left towards Sand Point, that is the trail you will use for your return trip. Once you’ve reached the coast, scan the sky for the frequently seen bald eagle soaring above or scour the ocean for the elusive sea otter or a passing whale. Set up camp at Cape ...
