Sitting perched above First Beach is the La Push Ocean Park and Shoreline Resort, which features motels, townhouses and cabins. The oldest cabin is over 75 years old.The units are equipped for light housekeeping with basic cooking and eating utensils provided. Some of the cabins have kitchens and fireplaces. For larger families there are three-bedroom and fireplace cabins.The two-story,8-room,Whale Motel offers king size beds and full kitchens. The two-story, 12-room Thunderbird Motel, has double beds and kitchenettes.

From many of the 57 rooms you can gaze out across the sandy expanse of First Beach, to the Pacific Ocean and the sea stacks that thrust abruptly up out of the sometime placid, often stormy waters.

During the spring and fall, whales can be viewed from the beaches when they come close to shore during the annual migrations. The beaches offer scenic views, driftwood, tide pools and wildlife for those who enjoy good surf, bring a wet suit, board or kayak.

Second Beach which has sheltering cliffs. At low tide, shallow tide pools brim with intertidal life. Impressive sea stacks-the Quillayute Needles are close inshore.

Be sure and park off the pavement at both Second and Third beaches.

You get a dramatic view of the Pacific Ocean, offshore islands and sea stacks, as you enter La Push.

A mile and a half past Third Beach, is a half-mile of forest trail, with broad wooden steps and handrails built down the cliff side, leading to:
