First Beach (La Push, WA)


The first beach we visited was, appropriately enough, First Beach, located on the southeast side of the tiny community of La Push. Renate and I had a lazy walk and Tippi had a great time sniffing everything in sight (except the people). A few surfers used all the patience they could muster in waiting for good waves that never came.

First Beach is at the center of

My Best friend and I took our daughters to La Push January 2009. You captured it beautifully in your pictures. I loved this magical place and will always carry it with me.

Thank you for sharing

When you next visit LaPush consider staying at Bogachiel River Vacation Rental. Possibly we could trade time for art.
