Nominated for: BEST Place for Peace and Quiet BEST Best Place to Watch a Sunset
One of the most popular beaches on the Olympic Peninsula, Rialto Beach boosts some of the most awesome views of the Pacific Coast with the easiest access. Just a few miles away from the small town of La Push, Rialto Beach is an easy hike, with Hole-in-the-Wall a popular destination.
Rialto Beach starts at the mouth of the Quillayute River and extends 4 miles past sea stacks and tide pools. The winter months bring heavy storms which can be enjoyable to watch, as well as rewarding. Be sure to watch for Japanese blown glass balls, used as fishing buoys. As the beach turns northward, Cake Rock is the massive sea stack that rises far up out of the churning sea. Dahdayla Island is also a sight to see but is much closer to the beach.

Stormy waves and wind cleanse the soul, the sunset provides a renewed sense of peace. Not for the romantic picnic, too windy.
