Kalaloch Lodge, 29 mile jump

After a short drive, we arrived at Kalaloch (klaylock. “a good place to land”) Lodge about 1:30pm, 50F and cloudy. It is a part of the ONP and has primitive camping right above the beach. I’ve had family and friends tell me it was a must see. We looked at the campsite map and said, “the far end of loop D!”. Boom! The primo spot at the end of the loop along the fence line was open. It was breathtaking, 20’ above the beach with roaring white surf pounding the sand. Thank You!

The beach is the big attraction here. It is wide at low tide and a good long hike is available. Just be sure you can get back past the rock outcroppings before the tide returns! There is driftwood on the beach, but in smaller quantities and sizes than up north. We walked the beach this afternoon; it was exhilarating! It is a must see; we highly recommend it for relaxing. So pretty!
