Second Beach, Olympic National Park, July 1, 2013


This was a day with two short hikes and lots of driving, from Port Angeles down to Quinault Lake via the scenic route to La Push and Second Beach.  Some of you may remember La Push from the Twilight movies. It was the main setting of the second book in the trilogy.
Second beach is reached after a short hike (3/4 mile) through lush and very humid rain forest. It reminded us of our Hawaii jungle hikes.

It was overcast, cold and windy.  It looks like the beach was deserted but I had a hard time taking pictures devoid of beachcombers.

Sea stacks called Quillayute needles.

No further description necessary.  I loved walking in the surf and sea spray.
