La Push Marina #1
About
La Push Marina #1 is a public ocean beach in Washington, about 12 miles from the town of Forks. It's a simple stop with restrooms on site, and there is no fee to visit. Swimming is not allowed here, so plan on enjoying the shoreline from the beach rather than the water. Summer is the most comfortable time to come. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs in the upper 60s with lows around 50°F and the fewest wet days of the year, while winter months bring highs in the upper 40s and rain on most days. Several trails start close by. Second Beach Trail is about a mile away, and James Pond Nature Trail and Slough Trail are each roughly 1.6 miles off. Climbers can head to La Push Beaches, about 3.3 miles away.
