We drove the long way around from Port Angeles to Forks as part of a multiday vacation on the peninsula so that we could stop at Cape Flattery. I'm so glad we did because it was an incredible day!
We stopped at the Makah Minimart when we arrived in Neah Bay to pick up our Makah Recreation Pass. Make sure you get this before heading out to Cape Flattery since you'll be asked for it on the drive in. We had a wonderful lunch at the Warmhouse Restaurant and enjoyed watching four juvenile bald eagles and two adults that were hanging around on the beach and nearby.
The hike to the various Cape Flattery overlooks was generally in good shape. The boardwalks were a bit damp and slippery in some places but were fine if you took it slow. The views are amazing. We saw a sea lion, sea otter, eagle, grey whale and even a lone puffin! We spent a long time there but finally tore ourselves away to head on to Forks. I'm grateful to the Makah for welcoming guests to this beautiful spot!
