Hobuck Beach, Makah Bay

Though remote, Hobuck Beach is known among surfers for its beach break and among travelers for the adjacent Hobuck Beach Resort and Campground. This wide, sandy beach is a great spot to relax after some hiking on nearby Shi Shi Beach or up on Cape Flattery. The resort rents a variety of watercraft depending on your interests: surfboards and some wetsuits are available, as are kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. If you have the time and energy, a paddle from the beach up the mouth of the Waatch River is a fantastic tour, or you can head south down toward the Sooes River and Anderson Point and it's fantastic beach. This is a great beach for staging a day of adventure or recovering from a previous itinerary.
