Top 9 Washington Coast Attractions

Every day our members discover new and exciting places on their getaways. We want to thank Bob K. and his family for sharing their favorite places along the coast!

Top 9 beachside attractions

Lake Quinault - Rent a boat, dine at the Lodge, drive around the lake, drive to mountain viewpoint (Higley Peak), several short hikes: rain forest, ancient cedar tree, historic homestead, moss-draped maple grove, giant spruce tree.

Point Grenville - Undiscovered gem of the WA coast: seastacks, wide sandy beach, hidden volcanic beach

Taholah - Wonderful beach with rocks of Cape Elizabeth, mouth of Quinault river, massive spruce driftwood piles, pretty forest, view down to Point Grenville. (Taholah and Point Grenville require a tribal beach pass: $15 per family per day.)

Copalis Rock - Isolated seastack rock reached by 4 mile walk or drive down the beach. Nearby is the Copalis State Airport, where planes land right on the beach.

Kalaloch Coastline - Spectacular Ruby Beach, massive driftwood piles, tree-lined cliffs, miles of empty beach.

Hoh Rain Forest - Astonishing moss covered trees, beautiful drive along Hoh River, bring an umbrella

Quinault Beach Resort - Casino and restaurants

Ocean Shores - Rent electric boat on Duck Lake, ride horses, rent beach buggies, drive your car on the beach, fly kites, sand castles, many summer festivals, shopping

Westport - Catch a boat tour for whale watching, ocean fishing, ocean-going seabird watching, or a harbor tour. Historic lighthouse is tallest in Washington state. Many fine beaches with hills of sand for kids to play on.
