Since the Twilight book and film series, Washington’s Olympic Peninsula (where the series is primarily set) has seen a boom in tourism. But forget vampires — Twilight is the last reason you should have for visiting. I compel you — rank the expansive beaches, endless coastal temperate rainforest, funky towns and majestic Olympic Mountains higher on your list of reasons to go West.
Need some inspiration? Look on. I don’t need to tell you where every one of these photos were taken, or how to get around. Because an important part of your Olympic Peninsula vacation is… the exploration.

You can surf at Hobuck Beach (Neah Bay), First, Second and Third Beaches (La Push) and… well, pretty much anywhere along the west side, but start at those four.
Where are the good surf beaches in that area? MAybe with camping?
