Rialto beach never disappoints no matter what the weather. Our coastline is NOT great for swimming: Cold/rocky/terrible rip tides/ and lots of floating killer logs. But it is amazing to watch and to photograph.
The rugged Washington Coast

Rialto Beach
I just love Washington coasts rugged beaches.
Windswept at Kalaloch
This beach is long and wide open. It’s trees are all windswept since there is nothing blocking the steady winds.
A Pod of Pelicans
There were HUNDREDS of Pelicans at the beach. I’ve never seen so many at beach after beach this summer. Something tasty must have been passing thru the waters.
Pelican crash course
This was at Rialto beach on the Washington coast. There were hundreds of Pelicans this day. These two kept swimming dangerously close to these crashing waves.
Ruby Beach
I just love the Washington coast. It’s always so rugged and beautiful. And only 60-90 minutes away from Sequim.
Kalaloch
The ocean is so powerful. It tosses these enormous logs about like a child’s tinker toy. Every time you come to this beach after a storm or super tide you see a whole new batch. There is a great lodge here with individual cabins for rent that all face the ocean–perfect for storm watching!
