The beach south of the mouth of the Moclips River was formerly called Moonstone for its once-plentiful agate beds. North of the river the beach curves to the rocky headland of Point Grenville. A Spanish expedition commanded by Bruno Heceta landed here on July 14, 1775, claiming the land in the name of King Carlos III. The Quinault Indian Reservation begins at the northern edge of town. Note: Access to beaches within the reservation by non-tribal members is prohibited.
