La Push

Great fun when the weather is nice. Nice natural setting, not near any large towns.
Atmosphere:
Lots of campers, mellow folk usually. Used to be a nice atmosphere.
Additional Info:
Lots of cobble stones on beach make it tough walking in and out, but make for good shaped waves. several peaks, bowls. Watch for sharks though.
