19. 64-mile out-and-back from Rialto Beach to Shi Shi Beach is manageable for novices. Pick up a boat from the Olympic Outdoor Center in Port Gamble ($230 per week; olympicoutdoorcenter.com) and drive 2.5 hours through the park to Rialto Beach, just north of La Push. From there, paddle three miles north to Hole-in-the-Wall, a 30-foot arch, and camp in the woods at the Norwegian Memorial, a log-strewn beach where 18 shipwrecked sailors were buried in 1903. Skip Cape Alava and Sand Point, which see backpacker traffic, and spend the night 2.5 miles north, at the mouth of the Ozette River. Then it's on to the turnaround point and the trip's highlight: the Dalí-like sea stacks and wind-lashed spruces at Point of the Arches and Shi Shi Beach. Get permits, book campsites, and pick up bear canisters (for raccoons, mostly) at the ranger station in Port Angeles ($5, plus $2 per person per night; nps.gov/olym).
