If you have nice weather in the winter, the beach is a great choice for a walk… if you can’t get to the mountains. At least that is my choice. This is Kalaloch … one of the Olympic National Park beaches.

Beach Walk
This is looking north along the beach from the Kalaloch Lodge property in Olympic National Park. It’s a very popular spot, year round. I love to go and walk the beach and listen to the waves rolling in.
Ocean Sunset
I don’t usually convert sunset photos to Black and White … since they are often photos that are “about” the colors. This one, however, had such interesting patterns and lines that I thought the color was distracting. (and, this isn’t likely to burn, either)
The location is Kalaloch on the beach of the Olympic National Park.
Sunny Day at the Beach
A couple more photos from my day at Kalaloch in the Olympic National Park. Being the section of coast that abuts the rain forest valleys of the park, it is fairly rare to get a sunny day outside of peak summer.
Beach at Kalaloch
Kalaloch is one of the easiest Olympic National Park beaches to access. It’s a long drive, but it’s just a short walk from highway 101. This is about low tide … perfect for beach walking. At least between streams … the stream here is Kalaloch Creek and it was running pretty deep and we opted not to get our feet wet in the icy cold water, but turned and walked the other direction.
