Olympic National Park is known for its coastal beaches featuring impressive sea stacks and shores lined with hundreds of huge logs washed up over many years. During  low tides, tidal pools reveal urchins, starfish and other sea creatures. The photograph above is from Second Beach as the sun was descending over the Pacific ocean. The trailhead to Second Beach starts on the Quileute Indian Reservation. This beach is one of a number of beaches and shore line areas within the boundaries of the National Park.  Some are accessible after a short hike while others require some good effort to reach. All are worth the effort.
