Q:

I have seen some people who do bike the trail to the spit I don't think it would be advisable. The trail is not that long and is frequented by may people. Also that last hill down to the shore is rather steep and a bike might be considered a hazard to pedestrian traffic. Not being a biker, I'm not sure, but once you reach the shore I doubt the rocky beach and sand would provide a good surface to bike.
Q:
Can we visit if we don't have a car? Is it accessible by public transport from Port Angeles?
A:
No public transportation is available to reach this gorgeous spot.

A:
