Pacific coast which is known to have sandy beaches and rugged. This region is located near the forest which is the adjacent side. It is a place that stretches around sixty miles and also has native communities living on these two ends. These two rivers are the Hoh River with has the Hoh communities. While the other end there are the Quileute people, who stay at the Quileute River. This is one place that if you visit you will enjoy its rich history that is clearly shown in the wilderness and at the coastline which is a stretch of about 20 miles.

There are few beaches across the world that has sand, but this region coastline has enough sand. They are also covered with the bush undergrowth, slippery footing and misty rainfall weather. The terrain is accessible not like the other parts of this beautiful national park that has difficult terrain. You need to visit this place to enjoy the true definition of a beautiful scenery at the natural vegetation that leaves many asking for more.

There is also thick groves forest adjacent to the sandy beaches. More often you will find logs of fallen trees, and this is mostly seen near Hoh River.

The Olympic mountain is known to be a product of wedges of the Juan De Fuca Plate. It is a non-volcanic mount that contain massive snow that interesting for tourists to see. The glaciers also cover an approximate height of over five kilometers.

Towards the east, there is a dry range that falls on the leeward side of the mountain. It falls at the East which is the leeward side and is a shadow of the rain coming from the Western side of the mountain. It also has a high peak and a variety of craggy ridges.
