We visited this beach on a day hike from Neah Bay. The hike to the beach is beautiful through forests ending with a steep climb down to the beach. The beach is wonderful with soft sand and the forest right there. Point of the Arches was amazing as well, make sure you get there at low tide as the tide... more
