Olympic National Park provides a campground with flush toilets and water, although no utility hookups are available for recreational vehicles. Kalaloch Lodge also has rustic cabins and other accommodations. Both locations are open all year. More information can be obtained by phoning the park at 360-565-3130 or the lodge at 360-962-2271. Watch for Tides The Olympic Peninsula’s northern and Pacific coasts offer a wealth of beaches for recreational fun, but if you plan to explore them, keep an eye on the tides and surf. Rescues by the Coast Guard, Olympic National Park rangers or both are occasionally necessary for people who either failed or didn’t know to consult a tide table and weather report.
Headlands extending out to the water’s edge can create alcoves and grottos that may be readily accessible by thin strips of beach exposed during low tides. Unfortunately, when the tide turns, the incoming waters can trap visitors who must frantically scramble to reach high ground. Beware of “king tides” — higherthan-usual winter tides that embrace Washington shores — which occur when the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon reinforce one another. Tide books are available at local shops. Always keep an eye on the waves, whether you’re in the water or walking along the shore. Remember that logs so easily tossed ashore are still loose. Many a beachcomber has fallen and been hurt when logs shift on the beach.
