Storm Watching - First Beach Imagine yourself curled up warmly under a down comforter with a mug of hot chocolate. Outside your rustic cabin, the sound of crashing waves and an approaching winter storm provide the ideal natural soundtrack for relaxation. Located near La Push along the shores of the Pacific Ocean is First Beach, part of the 57 miles of wild coastline on the Olympic Peninsula, the longest such stretch outside of Alaska. First Beach is a mile-wide sandy crescent known for its surfing-sized waves, gorgeous and curious sea stacks and dazzling sunsets. Kayakers, surfers, and seals are often observed splashing in the waves. Between February and April, pods of gray whales often tarry there on their migration to Alaskan waters. End your day after a long hike and sunset stroll along the sandy beaches with a well-deserved rest in one of the Secret Places' best-kept secrets. First Beach offers a sanctuary for those visitors looking for an opportunity to soak up nature at its finest. Directions - Lodging - Details For more information, visit: Forks, WA Chamber of Commerce
