After we left Lake Quinault, we drove west until we hit the coast - and what a pretty coast it was! We booked a cabin at Quileute Oceanside Resort for the first two nights of our trip - I found out about it on TripAdvisor (my favorite place for travel recommendations!). It's on a remote part of the coast, about 15 minutes from the nearest town, down a two lane road, with nothing but forest on either side.
The resort is owned by the Quileute Tribe, on their reservation, where they've lived for almost a thousand years. It was a beautiful place, and it was really cool to see folk art all around, another language along with English on all the signs, and learn a bit about the history of the people and the place. It was like we were in another country...and we basically were!
Of course, we were also staying right on the ocean!
We stayed in one of the "normal" cabins - but there were also luxury cabins, which were overlooking the water and had fireplaces and decks. Ours still seemed pretty fancy for a cabin, since it had electricity and indoor plumbing and a real mattress! The beach was only a few hundred feet away, and the sunsets behind the sea stacks were perfect. This would be a cool place to watch storms in the winter. Here's where we ended our day, a 5.5 hour drive from home...not too shabby!
