| Of course, for many people, I don't need to give a long list of attractions, since you are just going to bum around on the beach. Have at it! Enjoy! For those of you who like to plan an itinerary, here are some ideas: Damon Point State Park This beach lies within a short walk from the condos. The North Jetty Fantastic beach and awesome ocean waves at the bottom of Ocean Shores. Duck Lake and the Grand Canal The Ocean Shores peninsula is interlaced with canals and lakes. A tour of Duck Lake and the Grand Canal on an electric party boat is the highlight of any visit to Ocean Shores. Sandpiper Trail Just outside of Ocean Shores is found the Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge, where millions of shorebirds stop by on their migration between Alaska and Mexico. Quinault Beach Casino Near the Ocean Shores entrance is found this popular casino right on the beach. Indoor Waterpark at the Grays Harbor YMCA Located in nearby Hoquiam is this fabulous facility with an indoor waterpark (wave pool, waterslide, Olympic pool, jet-propelled river, and more water features), racquetball, basketball, and excercise room. A family day pass costs just $15. Razor Clam Digging These huge, meaty clams can be dug on days designated by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. License required. Ocean City State Park Another place to access the wonderful ocean beaches. Copalis Beach The nearest seastack rock is located here to the north of Ocean Shores. If you have planned a visit longer than a weekend (and I highly recommend that), there are two outstanding attractions of Grays Harbor County (or of the state or of the world!) that you should explore: Lake Quinault Beautiful glacial lake with Olympic Mountain backdrop, historic lodge, excellent restaurant, 3/4 mile rain forest loop trail and many further trails, world record holding trees, boat rentals, and a picnic spot on the north shore to die for: July Creek. Point Grenville and the Quinault Indian Nation Beaches Little visited by outsiders, the Quinault tribe is lucky to possess some of the finest beaches on the whole Pacific Northwest coast. Point Grenville has lots of rocks for your kids to climb, massive sea stack rocks offshore, and an amazing hidden volcanic beach over a low rock wall at the point. Arrive at low tide to see the hundreds of fat purples and orange starfish. The beach at Taholah features the red rocks of Cape Elizabeth, the mouth of the Quinault River contending against the ocean waves, and some of the largest beach logs you'll see anywhere. Hike south from Taholah past the rapidly eroding cliffs to the end of the beach where the waves pound directly on the cliffs with the rocks of Point Grenville in the distance - an amazing sight. A tribal beach pass is required - $15 per family per day. Go to the police station at the end of Cuitan Street in Taholah. |
