This is a classic Washington experience. It's a wild coast, full of amazing scenery. Some small logistics to get through, but after that it's pretty straight forward.
Visitors will need two permits: The Makah Recreation Pass, which can be purchased in Neah Bay at the General Store, Mini Mart, Marina or Museum. It costs $10 and is good for the calendar year. You will also need an Olympic National Park wilderness permit, available at the Olympic National Park Visitor Center in Port Angeles or (when open) the South Shore Ranger Station at Lake Quinault.
If you plan on camping, consider renting a park-approved bear canister at the Visitor Center in Port Angeles. As with all coastal hiking, use a tide table to plan your visit, and always be aware of surf conditions. Make sure you camp above the high tide mark.
