What can I see and do at the La Push Beach? 

• Third Beach Trail: Hike an easy 1.5 miles through a lush coastal hemlock and spruce forest and over a bluff to Strawberry Bay. This bay is a scenic sandy beach flanked with towering bluffs and seastacks. Strawberry Bay even features a tall waterfall that empties into the ocean. The Third Beach Trailhead is located on the La Push Road, 12 miles west of Olympic Highway, WA-101. 
• Surfing, Sea Kayaking, Kayak Surfing: Located in a naturally protected cape, surfers and kayakers can enjoy large swells in relative safety. Surfers should note that the water here is always very cold and should plan to wear full body suits year round. 
• Wildlife: Playful sea otters, seals, and sea lions are often seen on the beaches and sea stacks of La Push. Bald Eagles often nest in La Push in the summer. The best time to spot an eagle is around 6 pm when eagles swoop and dive into the ocean for their tasty fish dinner. 
• TEAM JACOB UNITE! (ie Twilight Tourism): La Push is one of the settings in the Twilight book series by Stephanie Meyer. No matter if fans are Team Jacob or Team Edward, a visit to La Push can be a real thrill.
