99. The Shi Shi Beach Hike
If you’d like to spend some time at one of the park’s most beautiful beaches, where you can see not only tide pools but distinguishing pinnacles, this hike is perfect for your hiking bucket list. You can do it as a lengthy day hike or turn it into an overnight backpacking adventure.
Depending on how far you wish to hike down the beach, the distance will vary between six and 10 miles. Still, this hike is rated easy, with only a minimal ascent.
It should only require a total of four to six hours in total to finish it. It is also important to know that while the beach is situated within Olympic National Park actual access to the beach is via the Makah Reservation. You will need to pay the park’s fee and get a Makah Recreation Pass as well.
