Heading to the Olympic Peninsula this summer? The tourists will probably flock to the more popular beaches, but you can avoid the crowds by heading to Shi Shi Beach at Clallum Bay. Not only is it a hidden gem, it's absolutely gorgeous.
Another fantastic spot on the Olympic Peninsula is Third Beach. Out of the three, Third Beach is the hardest to reach, requiring a bit of a hike that some Washingtonians won't be willing to make. Your reward is pristine (and secluded) shoreline.
Normandy Park lies just south of Burien and Seattle, but you'll feel like you're in your own world when you're there. Be sure to check out Marine View Park and its 27 acres of woodlands, nature trails, and beautiful beach -- let's just say you won't have an issue practicing social distancing.
Richmond Beach Saltwater Park is located in Shoreline, a quiet community located just north of Seattle. Between the picnic areas, playground, and walking paths, you'll have everything you need for a wonderful (and quiet) beach day.
Damon Point sits at the southeastern tip of the Ocean Shores Peninsula, spanning about a mile. Not only does it stay fairly secluded, but it happens to be a great place to go bird-watching. You might even see some rare birds like the snowy plover.
Spending time at the beach is both relaxing and restorative. These spots are all fantastic — and if you need more, check out our hidden beaches road trip.
