Does Washington have any beaches?

Yes, Washington has beaches. Here are some of the most beautiful beaches:

  • Second Beach is a hidden gem in the Olympic Peninsula that you'll have to do a little work to discover. As its moniker suggests, there are actually a few beaches in this area. First, Second and Third Beaches are located just south of La Push. And even though they’re right next to each other, you can’t hike from one to the next because of all the dramatic bluffs and headlands standing in the way.
  • First Beach is the easiest one to reach, so it’s usually the most crowded.
  • Third Beach is a little tougher, requiring a 1.2-mile trek down a forested trail.
