Shi Shi Beach
towering sea stacks framing miles of beach, and wind-curved conifers dotting the shoreline, this extreme northwest corner of the Olympic Peninsula really brings the vistas...

Rialto Beach
offshore sea stacks, towering bluffs...Hike two miles on the flat but rocky beach to its northern boundary for a look at Hole-in-the-Wall, a dramatic rock arch carved by sea and wind; you can walk through the hole at low tide...

Lake Ozette and Ozette River
down-home Lost Lake Resort on Lake Ozette, an hour hike inland via boardwalk (campsites, starting at $17.50; cabins, starting at $80. Clallam Bay, 208660 Hoko Ozette Road; 360.963.2899; lostresort.net)

Long Beach
sand castle annual competition; sandsationslongbeach.com and flying kites

Cape Disappointment
rough seas and sheer weather drama—roiling surf...Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center...and wood-fired, thin-crust pies at Serious Pizza at the Cape Disappointment Store Ilwaco, 243 Robert Gray Drive

Hug Point
five miles south of bustling Cannon Beach, you’ll likely whiz right past the little sign for Hug Point. But keep your eyes peeled and you’ll be rewarded with a cozy beach in a tiny cove where you can while away the day in relative seclusion.

Newport
where you'll find the Oregon Coast Aquarium...head down one of the adjacent docks to pick up the freshest fish possible for dinner: You have to buy the whole fish...you’ll need a cooler for transport
