Washington Coast Cape Alava

[d360]

Next weekend we are going to Cape Alava to get away from it all. We got our permit and plan to camp on the beach for 2 nights. Anyone camped around Cape Alava? I hear there are Indian petroglyghs and some nice tide pools. If anyone has tips please share them here. I'll report back on our time when we return. Last year we camped at Shi Shi Beach and this was amazing I felt like a real "survivor" the show. We built a great camp, drank wine, and atesome good food. Here's a VT from last years trip.

Shi Shi Beach

wow that really does sound like a great getaway. How far is it from Seattle and what else can you do around that area?

It takes about 4 hours to drive there from Downtown Seattle. There's a couple ways to get there either the Bainbridge Ferry, driving through Tacoma over the Narrows bridge to the 101, or the 12 straight out to the coast up then head north to Lake Ozette.

Whats great about the area is the diversity you can go from the Ocean to the Rainforest in less than an hour and for teh adventures you can climb a Glacier capped mountain called Mt. Olympus which is a 4 day hike deep into the rainforest. I would rate this area of the coast as one of Washington's top attractions.
