Rialto Beach

Olympic National Park

Washington

USA

 

Rocky beaches, giant drift logs, pounding waves and views of offshore islands known as 'seastacks' are features that define Rialto Beach. It is adjacent to Mora Campground in the Olympic National Park near the mouth of the Quillayute River.

 

The beach was named 'Rialto' by the famous magician Claude Alexander Conlin after the Rialto Theater Chain

Conlin had a home in the 1920s at Mora, overlooking the beach and ocean, until it burned in the 1930s.
