You'll find
the most amazing beaches along the ocean in Olympic National Park.
Now that you're tired of hiking in the mountains and climbing
to water falls you can walk along the nearly flat beaches. Unless,
of course, you decide to walk far enough to encounter one of the many
headlands that jut out into the sea forming a nearly impassible wall.

Remember to
dress appropriately. The weather
in the Park can change suddenly and dramatically. In the
same day you might see rain, wind and temperatures in the 50's and
sun and temperatures in the 80's even in July. Be especially
careful at higher elevations where summer temperatures can dip below
freezing.
Lake
Crescent is one of the great jewels in the crown of Olympic National
Park to paraphrase some time honored cliché. There are
many day hikes in this area including the very popular hike to Marymere
Falls.
