La Push is a reservation area for Native American tribe Quileute. The place is known for surfing. It is located very close to Forks and it is also one of the main setting for Twilight Saga, where Jacob lives. It is also one of the beach where vampire avoid due to the
Quileute tribe and the sunnier weather at the beach. Since we are visiting Olympic this long weekend, we decided to visit this place to see what it is like.
La Push beach is about 15 miles off Highway 101. By driving on La Push Road all the way to the end, we arrived at La Push beach. There was not many people here and the gravel parking lot was only half full. We also saw many hand crafted shop along the road and a mariner just beside the beach.
Unlike instead the Olympic National Park, the weather at La Push Beach was much sunnier and warmer. We could see many people enjoying the sun on the beach and enjoying the breeze of the wind. There were also few people dressed with wet suit for surfing. On the far side of the beach, there was a vertical rock and we recognized it as the rocks where Jacob jumped off from.
As we drove back to Highway 101, we saw few ambulance came by and parked at Olympic National Park parking lot. Not exactly sure what happened and we were guessing that someone got injured on the beach. Both the ambulance and the police car were labelled with Forks.
Overall, we just wanted to see what La Push was like since it was one of the main setting in Twilight Saga. It kind of matched what we expect. The small village along side of a small Forks town. We were wondering how far they would have to drive just to watch a movie.
