Rialto Beach Washington Coast

Rialto is an ocean element of the Olympic National Park (the park consists of mountain terrain, rain forests and ocean side wilderness.) We just stopped off at Rialto, but found out that one can hike along the coast and not see any development at all for 20+ miles north from Rialto.

We just stopped, walked around and took some pictures. The same "haystacks" that you see on the Oregon coast are found at Rialto, along with pounding surf and riptides (not need to go swimming!)

The primary reason for heading to Rialto was that Alicia had to stand in the Pacific Ocean and thus connect the Atlantic and Pacific on this trip.
