About

La Push First Beach is a public ocean beach on the Washington coast within Olympic National Park, about 12 miles from the town of Forks. A fee is charged to visit. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical July and August highs reach the upper 60s with lows around 51, and rain falls on only about 9 or 10 days a month, compared with 22 or more in mid-winter, according to averages from a nearby weather station. The beach makes a good base for exploring the surrounding coast. Second Beach Trail starts just 0.3 mile away, and Third Beach Trail and James Pond Nature Trail are both under 2 miles off. Climbers can find the La Push Beaches area about 2.6 miles away.
