Tongue Point

Tongue Point, located near Port Angeles in Washington’s Salt Creek Recreation Area, is a must-visit for its stunning coastal views, tide pools teeming with marine life, and serene hiking opportunities. Known for its rocky formations that jut dramatically into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, this spot is a favorite for nature lovers and adventurers.

At low tide, Tongue Point transforms into an explorer’s paradise, with tide pools revealing starfish, anemones, and crabs. Nearby trails offer easy access to panoramic views of the coastline and distant Olympic peaks. Birdwatchers and photographers will love the diverse wildlife and ever-changing skies.

The best time to visit is during spring and summer for clear skies and vibrant greenery, but fall and winter offer a quieter, misty charm. Low tide is key for tide pooling, so check the tide schedule before heading out!

Whether you're hiking, picnicking, or simply taking in the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, Tongue Point is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss.
