Of the beaches near La Push, Second Beach may be the most well known. The trail to the beach is short, about 1/2 mile, and sea stacks are close to where the trail reaches the beach. It is impressive. One word of caution, however. This time of year tides are high and beach access becomes severely limited. You can easily become stranded for 4 hours or more if you are not careful. Look at tide schedules before venturing out. When I arrived in the morning, high tide was at +10 feet, leaving little ability to navigate along. When the tide does go out, you can walk around some of these big stacks.
As one might expect, sunsets from Second Beach are incredible.
The only problem for photographers - there are so many different places to take pictures as the sun sets, I found myself running from one place to another.
As I headed out on the way home, one last parting shot before hitting the trail.
Rialto Beach, Third Beach and Second Beach - a must do experience.
