If you’ve spent any time exploring the Washington coast, you know we’ve got dozens of small hidden beaches, especially along the Olympic Peninsula. Some are so secluded they don’t even have names, and others are on private property (so explore carefully). Shi Shi Beach is neither, but because it’s not easily accessible, it often stays delightfully uncrowded and perfectly peaceful.
That's probably because, unlike some of the other beaches in the area, it takes both driving off the beaten path and hiking to reach it.
It's not an overly challenging trail, but this six-mile round trip trek does keep the crowds away.

This beach is especially magical because you might not see anyone else during your visit, especially if you on during the off season.
Both can be purchased at the general stores in the area.
If you visit during low tide, you can see green anemones, pink algae, seashells, starfish, clams, snails, and other marine life.
In fact, if you get a camping permit, you can spend the night and watch the sunrise as well.
