Getting there. 3283 Mora Road, Forks, WA 98331, in Olympic National Park near the Quillayute River, about three miles from Rialto Beach.

Rules on the ground. ROAD CLOSED. The National Park Service states that Mora Road is closed to all traffic for construction from 8 July to 15 October 2026, and that Rialto Beach will not be accessible via Mora Road during that period. The park states the campground itself remains open. Recreation.gov gives the construction window as ending 9 November, so the two sources disagree; confirm with the park on 360-565-3130 before travelling. As of 28 August 2026 full fire restrictions were in effect, prohibiting campfires, charcoal and wood-burning stoves.

These come from OpenStreetMap. They are real places at real coordinates, but nobody has been to them for us yet, so there is no write-up: no parking notes, no word on whether the road is open, no clothing policy. We label them exactly that way rather than pretending otherwise.
If you go to one, you can be the first person to confirm it, and you stay credited on that spot permanently.
Washington's indecent exposure statute, RCW 9A.88.010, requires an open and obscene exposure that the person knows is likely to cause reasonable affront or alarm. Nudity by itself is not the offence. The statute is aimed at conduct directed at someone, and it explicitly exempts breastfeeding. Washington courts have read it narrowly for that reason.
This is not a green light, and please do not read it as one. A state statute is only the first of several rules that apply where you are standing. Counties and cities pass their own ordinances, and the land manager, whether that is the Forest Service, the BLM, State Parks, a county parks department or a private owner, sets its own rules on top of the law and can enforce them regardless of what the statute says. A place can be perfectly lawful under state law and still get you a citation from a ranger.
What we do on each spot page is tell you what is actually known about that specific place: who manages it, whether nudity is customary or designated there, and what people who have been report. Where we do not know, we say we do not know. We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice.
Statute: RCW 9A.88.010. Last reviewed August 2026. If you think anything here is out of date, tell us. We would rather be corrected than wrong.
Takes about a minute, and you do not need an account.
