The best tide pooling beach. Don’t let the rope scare you. Its easy. We went left first because it was quickly under water. Our tide was -1.8. Then we went right and it was exquisite. We saw an eagle on a rock take flight. The pebbles then get painful. All amazing

We stopped here from PA on a family vacation. It was a great place to see the beach and enjoy God’s creation. There were bald eagles, seals, huge rocks in the water, and tide pools. We were able to see two orange starfish. So glad we took this in. The walk down to the beach is steep so be aware of that.

My family and I went to this beach in the beginning of May. Such a beautiful place!! We first paid a $30 entrance fee. You either pay in cash or by credit card (good luck with the reception) and covers most destinations in that area. We walked a short clear path to the beach. There is a section where you climb down (using the rope) some secured rocks. Here you will see the beautiful view of driftwood along the edges of the beach. Be sure to walk towards the tall rocks, that is where you should see some starfishes and anemones! The kids (6, 9, 12) and I had a blast! FYI: Should download Google offline maps.

Beautiful place to camp! We stayed three nights and I could have easily stayed longer if we had time. The only downside is that dogs are not allowed in most things in the national park besides the beach. That being said, our dog LOVED the beach. We spent hours walking, looking at tide pools and playing in the water. Gorgeous sunsets as it is a west-facing beach.

where to begin… where the shimmering ocean meets the dark sand and rugged terrain. this is one of the more photogenic beaches in my opinion. the dark smooth sand with endless views in any direction you can’t go wrong at this beach. amazing location to go explore the beautiful parks of washington’s western coast

We went to the beach to view "The Tree of Life". Amazing! She has slipped down so that her roots are resting on a driftwood log for now. Totally worth a visit before she is washed out to sea. Short walk from parking area down so wonky steps.

Great public beach with a couple small tide pools to look in. Our kids loved to see the ananomy and starfish.

Kalaloch has several beaches, the first stop at the campground registration has parking, a couple of picnic tables then a short walk and some stairs down to the beach. Not wheelchair accessible. This first stop is also the location of the Tree of Life. We skipped the next couple of stops and went to Beach 4 which has a small parking lot and a couple of outdoor style toilets. This beach is a bit inaccessible for wheelchairs and anyone not able to climb down and back up the staircase. Once you get to the beach, you actually have to scamper down some rocks, again not very accessible if you’re not agile. This beach is picturesque with unique rock and land formations. The haystack rocks are home to sea creatures that are visible at low tide. Can’t wait to visit again and would really love to camp at the first beach at some point.
