Getting There
From Port Angeles, drive west for three miles on Hwy 101, then turn right onto Hwy 112. Continue about 14 miles, then turn right on Reynold Road. This road dead-ends, but look for a small parking area on the left side of the road, less than half a mile from your turn off.
Park here, then walk north on the road to two locked gates. To get to the beach, turn left at the two gates and walk west down the road for about 1 mile.
