Kalaloch River

There is a fresh water river that flows into the ocean at Kalaloch Beach - the Kalaloch River. Growing up, we would always play at the river, because we could rinse the salt water off our bodies after jumping waves and it was more fun to explore without the icy cold waves crashing down on you.

A shot of the river - we were amazed at how different the river looked this year. Every year, we are excited to see how different the beach looks based off the storms from the winter. Will there be lots of driftwood, how will the curve of the river change, etc.? This year, there was hardly any driftwood for us to take for our campfires, the river's direction had definitely changed and at high tide - the water was definitely coming up on the beach higher and higher.
