The Food Bank Corner

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.
