One reassuring thing about tides in ONP is that they come in slowly, so even though you should always be aware of them, you are unlikely to find yourself having to wade back to your starting point. There is an offshore seastack at Second Beach that you can actually walk to when the tide is in the negative numbers. These offer a wonderful opportunity to see all sorts of tide pools that are usually under water. At low tide, you can walk down Olympic’s beaches, safely rounding some of its headlands and exploring tidal pools. Sometimes there are very low tides in the negative numbers. Of course, there are two low tides per day, but in the summer, the first one is lower than the second one. This is why when someone asks about visiting both Second Beach and Rialto on the same day, I always recommend visiting Second Beach close to low tide and going to Rialto Beach before or after. A general rule is that any tide under 3 feet is good for tide pools, with the lower the better. Its best pools are all at the far left end of the beach as you face the water, and they are cut off by water when the tide is high. They are accessible directly off of Highway 101. Kalaloch and Ruby Beach are located on the southwest coast of the Olympic Peninsula. The artwork uses an updated, digital version of a classic woodcut/scratchboard technique.
