HoogAlles wat u moet weten om uw bezoek te plannen
From July to September. The summer months offer the longest days, pleasant temperatures (18-22°C), less rainfall and greater chances of seeing clear skies on the beaches and in the Hoh jungle.
It is essential to check the tide times (*tide charts*) before embarking on routes along the rocky coast (such as Rialto Beach or Ruby Beach) to avoid getting trapped by the rising sea.
Good connection in major towns like Forks or Long Beach, but limited or no coverage in the interior of Olympic National Park and remote areas of the cape.
Never climb on large logs piled up on the shore when the waves are hitting; The sea can move them suddenly causing serious crushing.
Even in summer, the climate of the coast and the rainforest can change abruptly; Always wear a waterproof jacket (*shell*) and suitable hiking shoes.
Visit the guilds and fishing ports in Westport or La Push to sample Dungeness crab and fresh fish straight from the boats.
Much of the far north (such as Cape Flattery and La Push) belongs to the sovereign Makah and Quileute nations; Respect local signage and acquire required access permits.
