Third Beach offers many great parts of the best Olympic Peninsula beaches: seastacks, big driftwood, crashing Pacific waves, isolated non-developed cove, and even a waterfall that splashes directly onto the rocky beach. It is located on Olympic National Park's Pacific Ocean coastline, reached by a 1.6 mile trail through pretty forest from near the Quileute Indian Reservation town of La Push.
