Visit Port Angeles WA

Tucked in the rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains, Port Angeles is the epicenter for the Olympic Peninsula with visitors arriving from near and far to experience a magical vacation. As the gateway to the Olympic National Park—a top-of-the-bucket-list worthy wonder and one of few national parks in the Northwest—this smallish seaside-meets-mountain town has nuggets of history, hints of fame, bewitching beauty, and adventure waiting to be discovered. Port Angeles is the spot to start –and stay — during your Olympic Peninsula journey. Continue reading and visit Port Angeles WA!

Port Angeles Weather (When to Visit)

Port Angeles’ coastal climate makes for mild weather year-round. Temperatures range during the daytime from 40 degrees in the winter months to 70 degrees in the summer and fall. Even though Western Washington has a reputation for its abundance of rain, Port Angeles sits in the “banana belt” of Washington. Port Angeles receives, on average, 10 less inches per year of rain than Seattle and has 128 days of mostly sun compared with only 88 for Seattle. All of this sun — and 25 inches of rain — make for superb gardening and farming conditions all year-long in the region.

As for snow, the Olympic Mountains tower over 7,000 feet above Port Angeles making winter activities like skiing, sledding and snowshoeing possible. Even more ideal, the snow stays in the higher elevations leaving the city snow-free so you can bike, hike, golf and beachcomb year-round.

Rialto Beach

Rialto was named one of the top 10 best west coast beaches by USA Today. There isn’t a trail to hike along to get to this beach — the beach is your trail. You can choose to hike about two miles to the Hole-in-the-Wall, a sea arch, where you can explore saltwater pools teeming with sea life. Keep an eye out for whales, sea lions, otters, and bald eagles along the way.

The Point of Arches is breathtaking so keep walking the extra half mile down the beach. Backpackers will need two permits to stay overnight: the Makah Recreation Pass and an Olympic National Park wilderness permit .

First Beach, made famous from the Twilight movie sagas, can be accessed by car. Second Beach is only a mile trek and starts at the trailhead on the Quileute Indian Reservation. Third Beach is a 1.6-mile trek to the beach, which can get kind of messy and slick during stormy weather.

    Salt creek recreation area is breathtaking. This list is amazing thank you for taking your time coming up with things to do there. How many days do you suggest we should spend there? I love Kayaking, I always do it when I visit my family in Thailand, it would be nice to try that in WA. Whale watching would be nice too, do they come up every time? This will be my first. Now I know where my husband and I can go for this year vacation, too cold here in NYC. 🙂

    1. Leahrae (Post author)

      It is too cold in NYC!  I would go for at least a week, maybe a week and a half if you can.  Then you can account for travel time as well and still have plenty of time to enjoy Port Angeles.  The best time to see whales is from March to October during there migration in the area.  It will be in full swing during this time, and if you are there during these months, you will see whales 🙂

    I’ve been all over the United States, but never to your corner of the country. That’s something I’ve been meaning to rectify for some time, and now I have another reason.

    I honestly knew nothing about Port Angeles but your review almost makes me feel like I’ve been there.  A very thorough, practical guide for newcomers. And the pictures are beautiful. 

    Do you have a favorite hiking trail in that area? That’s one of the things my wife and I have always enjoyed. If nothing else, it feels good to move around after a long trip!

    Living in Washington one day is something I’m strongly considering, though I’d likely prefer the center of the state. Reading this article gives me an excellent vacationing idea if I decided to venture over into the western part of Washington. The scenery is tremendous, which is what would attract me for any vacation. Judging from the pictures alone, traveling over to Port Angeles would be a trip for a lifetime.

    Wow, I’ve been to Seattle, but I haven’t gotten to Port Angeles. I usually go by Clipper Vacations to get to Seattle first. I think the next time I’m in Victoria, BC, I’ll definitely take a weekend to go to Port Angeles, especially to look around at the beautiful trails there!

    I’m curious, I happen to be a motorcycle rider. What would you say about the roads around there? What road trails would you recommend in the area?  I love to rent a bike and just zip around the back roads there.

    We are recent transplants to the beach life from the Portland, Oregon area….we love it so much that even our vacations are at the coast.  We’ve spent a lot of time in the Seattle area, and have (for years) been wanted to expand out to Port Angeles and surrounding areas.

    So glad we found your post!  Will save us a ton of time in planning.

    It doesn’t sound like there a really bad time to go.  How busy do things get during spring break?  We have two kids, HS and college, and plan on heading up to Washington during their break.  If it is too busy during this time, we might opt to wait until school is officially out.

    My wife and I enjoy learning about local history…any idea if there are some good museums in the area?

    BTW – The video got us totally hooked!

    Hi! I have been planning to go on vacations. And I always like to have an option right here in the States. And Port Angels is a great option.

    I want to go to the Caribbean. But, chances are that this year it may not be. So, I’ve started to explore other options and this one that has clicked.

    Thank you for listing the attractions. Neighbors have commented that Salt Creek Recreation Area is a must. And we can’t afford to not visit Marymere Falls! We’re Italians so we’ll stop at Bella Italia, that’s for sure!

    I really think that this article is very helpful and informative. I have never been to Port Angeles but I heard great stories about this place.

I will visit Olympic Lodge hotel site and see the benefits but having wifi they already buy me.

    Love the immediate calming effect of the main header photo… I already feel in a much better mood, than I did before I landed here. It is perfect for the website… a lovely sandy beach and blue blue sea. I have no idea where Port Angeles is, I would have liked a little map to show where it was but maybe people who are coming to the page know.  I am not from the USA so whilst I like to think I know where Washington state is (WA?) I am not absolutely sure. However the description of the area, the sights to see, things to do, places to stay was comprehensive and very informative but not without the feeling and enthusiasm of the writer.   The review followed a natural flow through and I wanted to keep on reading further to see where it was. When it came to the weather and rainfall, perhaps a little chart would be good? Give a visual as to when the best time to visit the area would be? Thought it was extremely well written and I will be looking through the other months to see if there are any places Im thinking of going to this year although, as a mom of a tennis player, we dont often get chance to go to beach holidays although we live by one in Sotogrande.

    This looks right up my alley! I’ve actually never been to Washington, but I’ve always wanted to go. This looks beautiful and whale watching is on my bucket list. I love that it’s such a temperate area but that it receives more sun and less rain than Seattle. How far is it from Seattle? I wonder if it would be feasible to plan a trip that spends some time in the city but a good amount of time enjoying the beautiful scenery of Port Angeles.

      It’s going to be quite a distance from Seattle to Port Angeles, about 2 1/2 hours.  But you could start in Seattle and then ferry on over to Port Angeles.  Would make a great trip!  Thanks for your digital visit to Port Angeles 🙂
