Oceanside Resort

The Quilleute Nation has many different accommodations on their reservation. The tribe is small and relies heavily on the income generated by their lodging and restaurant.

As you enter the "resort" (a very loose term), you'll see the gas station and grocery store on the left. Third beach is also on the left and you'll see many different styles of cabins, a-frames, townhouses and duplexes for guests. They also have a regular style motel.

We usually stay in one of the townhouses since friends usually go with us. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the bottom floor with the kitchen & living room on the top floor. Each townhouse also has a wood stove and wood is usually already stacked outside the door. The kitchen has some basics for cooking and eating, so it's not necessary to bring more than the food you want to cook. Linens are also provided, but bring extra towels since the ones provided are pretty thin. The townhouses aren't fancy, but they are comfortable.

There are other beaches that you can hike to, but you should be in shape since the trails are fairly steep (and slippery). There are dozens of eagles in the trees and you can hear their calls and see them flying.

The Rivers Edge restaurant has been added in the last four years or so. They try hard to make the food fancy, but fail. It's tasty enough, but not really worth the price.

I haven't been back since the books by Stepanie Meyer were written...or the movie Twilight came out, but my guess is that La Push has become more popular because of the success of those things.
