Second Beach Campground Area

Second Beach Campground Area offers beach camping along Olympic National Park's rugged coastline near La Push, accessible via a short 0. 7-mile trail through coastal forest.

Wilderness permits are required for overnight stays, and all food must be stored in bear canisters; camping is primarily on the beach above the high tide line, with a pit toilet available where the trail meets the beach.

The parking area can fill quickly during peak season, with an overflow lot available, and visitors should consult tide charts before exploring the area, as the surrounding headlands are impassable even at low tide.
