The nice thing about La Push is that there is no bar. You motor down the river right along the back-side of James island. Once you clear the island you are in the ocean in 60 feet of water. It is probably hard to imagine that, so you might have to go and see for yourself what I am talking about.

We stayed at Forks (15 miles from La Push) at the Olympic Suites Motel. I had a large crew so I got the largest room they had for about 90 dollars. There are several other choices in Forks. There are also cabins for rent out at La Push. You can also find several individual cabins for rent on the Forks web-site. I think the area has a decent following of kayakers who go out in the bay and do their thing.
