The hike to the beach is around 0.7 miles one way. There are a lot of switch back stairs through a forest that lead down to a coastline. There are three parking lots that you can park at just outside of the town of La Push. The closest lot doesn't hold a lot of cars, but the overflow lots have more room to park if you don't mind walking a little ways to the beach. Second Beach is usually partially enshrouded with fog. It was also a little chilly at the beach for late summer. But overall I enjoyed my stroll to this beautiful beach.

The parking lot starts about a mile trail through picturesque forests to the beach. The trail is beautiful with lots of ferns and other plants to see. When you pop out on the beach you are amazed by the view. The beach is large with so much to explore. You can easily spend an afternoon here so bring a lunch and stay awhile.

This one is literally about 10 miles down the main road and opens into a couple of large parking lots with the beach just beyond. You have to climb over layers of driftwood to get to the rock part of the beach, followed by the sand part. It means that there's always something to explore and do here! Our kids did everything from playing in the water to build forts, to you sticks like a baseball bat and golf club to hit rocks into the water. It was pretty phenomenal to watch everybody exploring and playing while the sun went down over some beautiful rocks out in the water. When the tide is down, the tide pools are pretty fantastic and there's a ton of stuff to explore out in the water. The walk down to the eye of the needle is definitely worth it, and is something you should do earlier in the day as it does tend to get fairly dark fairly quickly. Check the tide schedules and plan accordingly. If you're over in the area, this is one of those places you need to go at least once, and will probably go again the next time you visit.

One of the most magical places I've ever been to, it's a short hike in and a hike out. Downhill there and then uphill back, not paved trail. Be sure to get there before sunset so you have time to look around the beach and enjoy the sunset, but either way so worth the trip! We went on Christmas Eve and had the whole beach to ourselves! Will have to come back one day to explore more of this beautiful beach. It's La Push, Bella ;)

While I'm not exactly a fan of Twilight books, I was glad we made the drive. It's a beautiful beach full of driftwood.

Plenty of parking and at least as of 8/25 there is a food truck nearby

But, still so pretty when I first entered. No one else on the beach, so I was just running around and splashing on the water.

Sand here much nicer than the one at hobuck beach, too Trailhead had a cute, wooden boardwalk at the start that were in the shade of the tall and skinny treescovered in moss. It was so nice to breathe the air here and there is so much side street parking no matter what time you come. I came during prime hours that were later in the day, but not too late...still was able to park! Just watch your step for the muddy parts and the change in elevation with the boardwalk steps

The hike to the beach is about 2 miles, very muddy, but it truly feels like you are walking through a rainforest. It's also the best trail to spot banana slugs! The beach itself is incredible, especially during low tide with amazing tide pools. It's much less crowded than other beaches in the area, giving you plenty of space to explore. You can walk along the shoreline for miles. Overnight camping on the beach is also allowed!

Once you arrive at this remote community, you will find one of the hidden treasures on the Olympic peninsula. First Beach has some beautiful coastal scenery. First Beach and Rialto Beach are the only two La Push beaches with drive-up access. La Push/First Beach is the home of the Quileute Nation. La Push was very crowded when I arrived because of a festival that was going on. So I wasn't able to find any parking near the beach. I ended up parking near the general store so that I could spend time exploring the area. The views of the sea stacks at this beach are gorgeous. Like many of the La Push beaches, First Beach is littered with large driftwood. There are some oceanfront cabins at the Quileute Oceanside Resort that are great for families that want to wake up to a view. River's Edge Restaurant is a waterfront restaurant that is popular for dinner.

I much preferred Rialto, though First Beach might be better if you want to walk on/lay out on sand rather than pebbles. You will drive on reservation land to get to First Beach. As such, I would recommend adhering to the speed limit signs, especially since there are sometimes rez dogs roaming around off leash (including near the beach). A brochure at the Forks Visitor Center said well-behaved dogs can be off-leash at First Beach but signs at the beach said dogs must be on-leash so I kept ours on a long leash. There were a few other folks with dogs and they had theirs on-leash as well. This beach definitely had more of an ocean-y smell to it due to the amount of kelp washed ashore. There were a ton of sea birds both in the water and on shore! I wonder what draws them to the area--there were only a few on Rialto. We picked up some trash along our walk (including someone else's used dog poop bag) but overall, it seemed pretty clean, especially for being what I assume a major tourist destination for the area. There are dumpsters in the parking lot to throw away trash, along with a few porta-potties.

One of the two toilets in the tent camping area was out of order for our whole stay (2 days) and the Port-a-potty was full. Very full. For two days. This campground sells out *every summer*; it should not be a surprise to them that they are fully occupied and need to provide adequate sanitation facilities for the people in the 31 tent sites. And in fact, they know that the sanitation is inadequate, because they mentioned it in the notice on the the toilet door: "Due to high volume during summer months, our vault toilets may experience overuse. We schedule two cleanings a day but encourage guests to take full advantage of the flushable toilets, showers, and rinse station located at the east / RV side of the park." The RV side of the park provides a whopping 3 toilets for women, and 2 toilets and a urinal for men. Given the swarms of mosquitoes, its not a delightful walk over to the RV side. Nor is it delightful to have to use a full Port-a-Potty when you are paying $45 a night for a tent camp site. The location is not enough of a redeeming factor for us, we will not be back.

The drive on the beach turns towards the left. Went quite a ways down with cars lines up. Lots of kites and picnics. Sand seemed pretty packed down, which made the drive great! The beach was clean, and the fresh air was nice. You can also hike to the left, and it was peaceful and not as busy. The entrance also has parking, porta-potty, and one garbage can outside of the porta-potty. The upkeep on the porta-potty needs to be updated. It's disgusting, and the beach is such a nice location. I'm giving a five-star since this beach brings all the amazing PNW to one location. Beautiful bluffs, green landscape, and the amazing beach....Just wait until the next town to go to the bathroom. We will be returning again soon.

It filled my hopes that there's still parts of the earth that are untouched and yet to be hit by consumerism or tourism. We could drive straight on to the sand which was surreal, and even got to go clamming. In the evening (low tide) people come from all over the state to try their hand at clamming. Tip: you need to get a clam license beforehand and that will limit the amount of clams you can snag from the beach (you also bring your own equipment). The sunset is gorgeous, as it reflects on the puddles of water on the beach. Highly recommend.

The hike is…read moreonly about 1.6 miles round trip, making it accessible for most visitors, and every step is filled with beautiful scenery. The trail winds through a peaceful old-growth forest with towering trees, lush ferns, moss-covered logs, and the calming sounds of nature all around you. The waterfall itself is breathtaking. Watching the Sol Duc River split into multiple cascades before plunging into the narrow gorge below creates a view that's unlike most waterfalls we've visited. The wooden bridge provides an excellent vantage point and makes it easy to appreciate the power and beauty of the falls while staying safely behind the designated viewing areas. The trail is well maintained and clearly marked, making it enjoyable for families, photographers, and anyone looking for a relatively easy hike with an incredible payoff. We found ourselves stopping often to admire the forest and take photos along the way. If you're visiting Olympic National Park, Sol Duc Falls is a must-see destination. It combines a scenic forest walk with one of Washington's most iconic waterfalls, making it well worth the visit. We left with amazing memories and would happily hike this trail again on a future trip to the Olympic Peninsula. Highly recommended! Check out our video on our social @reessroots
