This was a lovely little park and we thoroughly enjoyed a windy morning here. The playground was…read moreperfect for all three of my kids with plenty of different equipment to explore. Nearby was a covered picnic table, large parking lot, baseball diamond, basketball court, and small airport! Lots of grassy space to run around and explore. There was also almost no litter/garbage in the area - unlike other places we visited in Ocean Shores! On a Sunday morning it was very quiet. Another time, we might come here with a picnic to spend the day.

The area is large enough that even with two dozen vehicles in the parking areas, we were able to have about a 100' stretch all to ourselves for an hour.

I want to first say that I grew up in Southern California so Chance a la Mer is a bit underwhelming…read morepark but it does the job if you're staying close by and want to be close to the water. Parking is super accessible. The great thing is that you can drive your car straight onto the beach or you can park by the gift shop and walk over. You'll find a bunch of people sitting outside of their cars and their food. It's quite windy here so if you're into flying kites, you'll love it here. You can also see people riding horses here too. Overall the beach is kind of lackluster and the water is pretty dirty.

Great park! Came here to camp for the weekend - stayed at the campground with some friends. Great…read morecamp site with lots of trees great for coverage from morning sun. Different set up for some sites since there's nothing between to separate out the sites. There's an easy to follow path to get to the beach we went to a couple times. LOTS of beach to wander on. Be aware of people driving around if you have your pups.

Stayed on Loop 4 at 178. Big mistake. In all the years we've gone camping I've never experienced so…read moremany mosquito and insect bites. It was nearly impossible to go outside of our RV without being constantly attacked and bitten. Our legs were covered with bites that made our 3 nights stay very uncomfortable. We therefore opted to stay on the beach for the majority of the day then retreat much later to eat and sleep in our RV. After speaking with other campers, it became obvious that 178 was the worst for insect bites. Most sites didn't have as a severe problems as we did. Should we ever visit again, we will avoid 178 at all cost... Otherwise, Ocean Shores is a very sleepy community. Our best memories were hunting down 3 Garage Sales and meeting some great residents. Restaurant prices are very high as we weren't' going to pay $37 for a pizza or $34 for meager Fish & Chips (takeout)! The driving beach adjacent to the town was very crowded but once you go north of the Casino, it became more spread out and enjoyable. My advice? Go north my son, go north, and try and avoid the town entirely (unless you have kids)!

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.

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.

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.

We took the boardwalk and trail down to the viewing platforms. There wasn't much going on that day,…read morebut it was a nice leg-stretcher while passing through. They'd recently mowed the paths and next to the boardwalk, however a little snake made his way up onto the boardwalk to sun. He stayed put so we could sneak past, but you could tell the growth under the platform was high and pushing up through the boards making it easy for him to come up from below. The rest of the path was uneventful. A lot of robins, but no migration activity or anything of significance to view at this time. Decently large gravel lot at the trailhead, as well as a vault toilet.

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.

Make sure you have your parks pass placard to park within the park itself, if you don't have one…read morethere a number of spots to park on the street. My dog and I have been walking the trails for years, if you're up for a good walk there's a 2.5 mile walk to the start and finish of the Copalis River, quite near to the famous Copalis Rock, and if it's low tide you can walk up and see starfish and assorted anemones on the rocks. The beach is traditionally near empty of people, and at times the beach can reveal lots of sand dollars to look at. We are allowed to have beach fires but please keep those fires a good distance from the dune grasses which ignite easily. I almost hate writing this review because I don't wish to see it awash with people, but it's too nice of a park to keep it a "secret". There's a pavilion for hosting parties, and barbecues. There are restrooms and a fresh water spigot nearby. ENJOY!

This is a nice place for razor clamming. I went with a group this week and we all got our limits…read more We parked in the parking lot and walked to the beach. Most of the folks I went with were new to razor clamming and did not bring boots or waders. There was a stream we needed to cross that was too deep, so we took a detour over a bridge to the beach. There were lots of razor clam holes. It was like digging one right after another. I definitely had a good time.
