Makah Bay to Cape Alava, Neah Bay, Washington
3 days
Launching through the surf at Makah Bay is just the start of this coastal journey on Washington’s rugged coast. Good weather and small swell during summer months open up landings at Shi Shi Beach and further south. Part of the Olympic National Seashore, this stretch of coast is home to some of the most impressive sea stacks and rock gardens anywhere.
