This family's experience:

Activities: We hiked to Shi Shi Beach, which is located in Olympic National Park and requires a Makah Recreation Pass. The hike is relatively easy but can be muddy, with a steep section towards the end. We enjoyed the beach and the Point of the Arches, a series of majestic and rocky sea stacks

Highlights: The hike to Shi Shi Beach was a bit more strenuous, but we enjoyed the scenic beauty of the trail and the stunning views of the ocean. The kids loved playing in the sand and exploring the Point of the Arches ✨
