For our final beach hike/walk of this trip we headed to Beach 4 (north of Kalaloch) at low tide for the tide pools. It's about 1 mile round trip to the tide pool area from the parking lot.
At the beginning the trail splits, left down to the beach and right to an overlook.
Overlook of Beach 4 and the tidal pool area.
Beach 4 is one of the beaches between Kalaloch and Ruby Beach. The "beach" extends from the Queets River to the south to the Hoh River to the north.
Very short trail down to the beach.
Nice wooden bridge over the creek

From the bridge, I took this part of the rocky way down.

In the spring, there is lots of water running over the cliffs
We spent quite a bit of time during low tide exploring these rocks and the tide pools among them. I would love to come back when there are negative tides to explore more.
As the tide turned, we returned down the beach to the trail up to the parking area.
