Summer time at the beach

The North Beach area of the Washington Coast is about the beach!!

There’s so much to do - hiking, beachcombing, sunbathing, having a campfire, watching the sea birds and flying a kite.

Some great walks include: the Griffiths Priday bird sanctuary park at Copalis Beach, Joe Creek at Pacific Beach and Pacific Beach State Park to the Stairs at Ocean Crest Resort.

A great side trip is to Point Grenville, on the Quinault Reservation. A beautiful stretch of truly natural beach with arches, haystacks, etc.

Surf kayaking is particularly good at Pacific Beach, with easy access from the State Park day use area.

Surf fishing is good almost everywhere along the coast, but access is best at Ocean City, Roosevelt Beach, Pacific Beach and Moclips.

Razor clam digging is very popular on this beach. You need a license and the beaches are only open for digging on restricted dates. The state maintains a very thorough website on the subject:
