Rialto parking limited – Mora Road Closure for Storm Damage Repair

Published 1:30 am Thursday, July 2, 2026

A large stockpile of logs fills the overflow parking area near Rialto Beach. While no work was visible on the Quileute River restoration project during a recent visit, the logs are believed to be destined for the project, although that has not been confirmed. The closure of the overflow lot made parking even more limited, with hopeful beachgoers lined up along the road waiting for a parking space. The road to Rialto will close after the 4th of July for extensive road repairs. Photo Lonnie Archibald

The public is advised that Mora Road will be closed to all vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic beginning Wednesday, July 8, 2026, in preparation for storm damage repair operations.

Construction activities are scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 15, 2026. The project will repair storm-related damage to Mora Road to restore safe and reliable access.

There will be no public access to Rialto Beach during the road closure. Visitors planning to access Rialto Beach should make alternate recreation plans until the road reopens on October 15, 2026. Mora campground will remain open during construction.

The closure is necessary to provide a safe work area for construction crews and to protect the traveling public. Motorists and visitors are asked to obey all posted signs and traffic control devices.

We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation while these essential repairs are completed.
