Working the standard Monday-Friday grind can leave very little time to get out of your hometown and explore. Especially when you have other duties, responsibilities, hobbies, etc all pulling you to and fro.
Luckily Alicia and I had a Sunday with NO PLANS! And we took that chance to make the 3+ hour drive to the coast, destination: La Push.
The drive is a little tedious at times but once you hit Lake Crescent it perks back up. The beauty and majesty of Washington is something I will never tire of, it’s a big reason why this place feels like home.
We hit Second Beach in La Push first and made the short hike down to the water where we enjoyed our lunch (Tofurky sandwiches) and then wandered the beach for a bit before we had to get moving to our next spot. Second beach we hit was Rialto Beach which is about 10 minutes further North. We had planned the trip to be able to catch sunset at Rialto and we had perfect timing.
Big waves crashing against timber lined shores. Rugged beauty. That’s the only way I can describe the Washington coast (Ocean Shores doesn’t count, sorry folks).
Take a look at our trip and let me know what you think!
