Driving Down the 101 Visiting Random Beaches

My sister and I did this loop after visiting Mt Rainier where you go through Tacoma westbound until you hit the 101 and you loop up and around the Reservation through Forks, Olympic National Park, Port Angeles, and back into Seattle. Now this is quite a drive and is a one day trip at least if you just want to casually drive for the aura and beaches. Not sure how this will fit into your travel plans.

Our trip went from Tacoma > Olympia > connect to the 101 > Kalaloch beach (there's many public access points to choose from) > Forks > west to Rialto beach > back onto the 101 up to Port Angeles > Seattle.
