Second Beach — Olympic National Park
Reviewed Aug. 3, 2017

Second Beach

Super beautiful long stretch of beach on an easy hike around 1 mile each direction. Start in the large parking lot about a half mile from the La Push store and resort, plenty of parking with an overflow lot. Trail is pretty steady until it drops down to the beach itself with a winding set of stairs. Once you cross the driftwood pushed up against the tree line you have a wide open beach to roam. Camp anywhere you see fit to pitch a tent.

Tip: Make sure to use the facilities at the trailhead instead of the "at capacity" outhouse down by the beach. Also if camping bring your own water and firewood as both are hard to come by out on the beach. Make sure to have your permit and bear canister too in case a ranger is checking.

SiteNo designated sites. Straight beach camping. Look for existing fire rings
