We (Nancy, Chris and I) recommend this hike - best to do so at low tide,as it makes walking on softer sand, instead on the rocks .

We stayed at a sweet B&B -  Rooster Hill Short Stay (use to be a B&B) in Port Angles.We also did some biking - Chris & I along the water and Nancy - Our Champion biked up Hurricane Ridge
