Rialto Beach


Sender: hootnoodle
Text on card: Rialto BeachThe wilderness beach from La Push, Washington to Cape Flattery is controlled by rules of the Pacific Ocean. There are no sheltered lagoons. One must climb headlands, cross numerous streams, enter cocoons of fog and watch for storm waves that could trap you against sheer cliffs. This beach can be an experience of solitude never seen before.   

Olympic National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a protected forest area in northwest Washington State renowned for its diverse ecosystems. It comprises the Pacific coastline, the Olympic Mountains, and the temperate rainforest. Rialto Beach is one of the most accessible of the West End beaches.
