    Table of contents

    The Kalaloch to Browns Point Trail is a beautiful beach walk in Olympic National Park that is 8.7 km long and requires only 32 m of elevation gain, making it an easy trek. This hike is favored for its beautiful views, occasional humpback sightings, and its Tree of Life, a big tree suspended over an eroded section of shore. There is also a campsite on the beach.

    Route Description for Kalaloch to Browns Point Trail

    The walk along the beach from Kalaloch to Browns Point is gorgeous. It’s the classic Olympic Coast scenery you’d expect, with a vast ocean, misty air, a wide beach, driftwood, and unique trees, the most notable of which is the suspended Tree of Life. This is an easy walk, but do try to time it for low tide to get the most out of the beach.

    Begin from behind the mercantile store, hiking along Kalaloch Road and then following the trail as it curves to your right and then left towards the shore. Stroll up the beach, enjoying the damp sand and the unique coastal ecosystem.

    The trail ends at Browns Point. If you intend to go further, make sure the tide is not on its way up or you may get stuck. From here, turn around and retrace your steps.
