RIALTO BEACH, OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK ELOPEMENT DESTINATION

Groom helps his bride across the rugged sea stacks.

A stretch of pristine coastline with towering sea stacks and tidepools galore

Rialto Beach is one of the most amazing coastlines you will ever see. The forests come stretch right down to the sand and the meeting of forest and sea is something incredible to behold. It’s easily one of my favorite places on the Olympic peninsula. Getting to the best area on the beach does require a one mile hike, but it is undoubtedly worth it. Check a tide chart before you go and be aware that the incoming tide does cut off the outcroppings forcing you to hike the tidal bypasses which can be grueling.
