Review:
Shi Shi Beach is another of Olympic National Park’s treasures, but it requires a fairly strenuous hike in order to reach this remote and scenic wilderness that offers excellent views of several sea stacks. To visit you will need to follow the 2-mile Shi Shi Beach Access Trail (most of the route is quite flat, with the exception of a steep bluff at the beach end of the trail). The trail ends at the north end of Shi Shi Beach, where you can see a small group of sea stacks. The highlight of your visit to Shi Shi Beach is the 2.3-mile walk to Point of the Arches, a large grouping of very impressive sea stacks. Primitive camping is allowed all along the beach provided you carry in and carry out everything you need for a night under the stars.
