About This Beach
Moclips Beach is located at the northernmost town on Washington’s southern coast, offering a quieter alternative to more developed beach towns. The area has significant cultural importance to the Quinault Indian Nation, whose reservation borders the town. Historically a thriving resort destination in the early 1900s, most structures were destroyed in violent storms, giving the area a more undeveloped character today. The wide, flat sandy beach is ideal for long walks and beachcombing, especially after winter storms bring treasures ashore. The beach offers spectacular storm watching opportunities in winter months. The nearby Museum of the North Beach in Moclips documents the area’s rich coastal heritage. Moclips is known for its stunning sunsets over the Pacific Ocean, unobstructed by offshore features.
