What? There is a jetty and there were SURFERS!? My first time seeing surfers in Washington ocean…read more I especially was surprised by the SOFT sand in addition to sand dollars and pretty rocks found. To my surprise I also saw Marram grass before walking onto the beach. You do need a Discovery Pass to get in. There were enough parking. Not sure about the bathrooms. It is close to Westport downtown area.

The parking lot isn't far from the beach, but you walk down a sandy path which my 81 year old mom managed, but I'm worried about the walk back. It's sunny but cold. It was really hard to put a blanket down because the wind kept threatening to carry it away. This would be great on another day, but I don't know if it's ever not windy.

The drive on the beach turns towards the left. Went quite a ways down with cars lines up. Lots of kites and picnics. Sand seemed pretty packed down, which made the drive great! The beach was clean, and the fresh air was nice. You can also hike to the left, and it was peaceful and not as busy. The entrance also has parking, porta-potty, and one garbage can outside of the porta-potty. The upkeep on the porta-potty needs to be updated. It's disgusting, and the beach is such a nice location. I'm giving a five-star since this beach brings all the amazing PNW to one location. Beautiful bluffs, green landscape, and the amazing beach....Just wait until the next town to go to the bathroom. We will be returning again soon.

The most expansive beach I've ever been on. Think: sand for miles, with miles of depth and not a…read moreton of people. It filled my hopes that there's still parts of the earth that are untouched and yet to be hit by consumerism or tourism. We could drive straight on to the sand which was surreal, and even got to go clamming. In the evening (low tide) people come from all over the state to try their hand at clamming. Tip: you need to get a clam license beforehand and that will limit the amount of clams you can snag from the beach (you also bring your own equipment). The sunset is gorgeous, as it reflects on the puddles of water on the beach. Highly recommend.

Went here on a dreary gray day and I'm sure the weather affected my opinion of this place. A friend…read moreof mine loves this place because he used to come down here with his wife when she was still alive and it is near and dear to his heart. He convinced a bunch of us friends to check it out and well, it's nice. We ordered our seafood lunches at Merino's and I was excited about eating at the tables on the curb. He really wanted us to wait and eat at the beach. Okay! That sounds awesome. Five minutes later we're at the park and the picnic benches had no view of the beach. You literally were sitting at a bench next to the parking lot. At least it was right next to the restrooms. Then he wanted to walk around the shore. The path did technically see the shore, but the distance was like half a mile and these senior citizens were not going down to the sand. My sister and I were not going to miss being actually on the beach, so we ran down the the beach head and it was nice, but it was cold so we didn't go in the water. We later headed up to hang out with our senior friends and it didn't look good. They got to the first bench and one of our friends has a bad knee, another has leg cramps, another didn't feel steady, and another was doing great because she brought her walker with her and was getting in her steps. Our fearless leader was planning on walking another mile and a half to the lighthouse but my sister put the kibosh on that. We would've been fine, but looking at these poor ladies, they needed to walk back to the car before they couldn't. I felt bad for our leader because he wanted to show us the magic of this place, but naw, maybe next time because these ladies need help. I will give the beach area props because they are very accessible, but even with that, you have to know what your people can handle.

For whatever reason we had a lot of trouble getting into any type of restaurant. We visited seabrook which is a 30 minute drive and it's worth the visit. If you choose to come know that it will be cold and windy in the middle of July. We thought it would be warmer, poor planning on our part. We don't plan on coming back . You're not missing anything by not coming here. Lots of cute deer roaming around so if you choose to, drive carefully.

There use to be a cafe, but it's been closed. They don't have modern tech to sign-in your membership card so you have to show a physical card to someone at the front desk to use anything. You may bring guests with you at $1 a guest. They have a printed schedule - nothing digital/online - that shows the activities planned on a monthly basis. It is a requirement or they will lien your property to pay an annual fee, something that was not explained to me by the agents nor escrow. Something to be aware of and consider before buying property here. It doesn't matter if you use it or not.

The management should be aware that some some people cannot breathe with thick perfume in the air. The club needs some clear policies and a continued effort to keep it clean.

Hope this reaches the good people who run the Fun Center as I couldn't find an e-mail for them…read more Been coming to the Fun Center all my life. The Go-Karts, Bumper Cars, Arcade, Slick Track and all the fun I've had there since I was a little kid all live in my memory. The Fun Center is one of the most important and vivid businesses in Ocean Shores. But what I have to comment on is their yearly Holiday Light show! We've caught it two years in a row when we stay in Ocean Shores for Christmas and it is spectacular. We marvel at just how much work much go into the yearly coordinated light show this business puts on. This year especially was spectacular and we loved pulling off the road and watching the 20 minute show. The Fun Center's annual Holiday Light show has become one of our favorite parts of Christmas in Ocean Shores every year. I just had to comment on how awesome it is and how much we appreciate it. Not sure how to contact the people who do all the work there but hope this message finds them. We really really appreciate and enjoy your Holiday Light show!!!

From there, follow the paved road past the row of hangers until you come to the sign for Sandpiper Trail. From this point, you will be on an elevated boardwalk trail. You will pass through and be able to view multiple habitats along the way: Estuaries, open salt water, saltmarsh and mudflats. Take caution during the Fall and Winter due to slippery conditions when wet leaves cover the boardwalk! This is a "rest stop" for thousands of migratory birds. Some traveling from as far south as Argentina and some traveling as far north as the Artic. There are four major staging areas for shorebirds in North America and this is one of them. While you'll find the greatest concentration of migratory birds during the Spring, the refuge is worth visiting year round. The trail is surrounded by mostly Alder, Cottonwood & Willows and the dense thickets provide ample refuge for the birds. This is a great trail for all ages and capabilities with several places to stop, rest on benches & take in the beauty of the refuge.
