I camped here the Saturday before July 4th, so I should have expected crowds... but it was raining, and didn't know enough people were as crazy as I was. After the pleasant 0.7 mile hike to the beach, I was amazed by how many tents I saw right by the end of the trail. It almost looked like a tent city! Luckily, after walking a mile or so down the beach, the tents spread out significantly and we were able to find relative solitude.

Amenities: There were a few small streams coming in to provide drinking water. We didn't use the privy, and I wouldn't count on finding a place in the woods to dig a cat hole. There was enough driftwood at the edge of the beach to set up tarps for rain/sun protection.

Plan ahead! you have to get a permit in either Quinault or Port Angeles, and bear cans are required.

Highlights: We saw a pod of orca!!! And lots of cool tidepools :)
