Rialto Beach
Washington · United States
One of the favorite photos from Olympic National Park is sunset from Rialto Beach. But this is an excellent beach to visit at any time of day - especially if it's warm and sunny. You'll enjoy the rock pillars and with a half mile walk you'll find the Hole-in-the-Wall arch, which will eventually become 2 new pillars - or haystacks. Tidepools along the beach are also excellent.

Passing through the archway reveals the ultimate scientific prize of this trek: a vast, complex network of vibrant tide pools teeming with exposed marine life. When the ocean retreats, it strands thousands of organisms in these…
