Beach 3

To preserve nearly an entire glacially carved rain forest river valley from source to sea, President Truman added the narrow Queets corridor to Olympic National Park in 1953. Glaciers and snow on Mount Olympus feed the Queets River on its descent to the Pacific. This quiet area is a popular place to spot wildlife including salmon, deer and elk.

A quieter beach accessible after a 1.5 mi-hike. No seastacks but wide enough for camping.

Fabulous 1.5 mi walk on a safe easy path through beautiful tall trees to Tealwhit Point. Great beach, tide pools and driftwood.

First Beach is part of the Quileute Indian Reservation.
