Rialto Beach is a wild ocean-facing beach on the northern Pacific coast of Olympic National Park, fronted by scattered drift logs and sea stacks offshore. Hole-in-the-Wall, a natural arch carved by wave erosion through a coastal headland, is accessible by a two-mile walk north along the cobbled beach and is passable through the arch at low tide. The exposed location receives the full force of Pacific storms in winter, making the beach a destination for dramatic wave photography between October and March.
