Explore the Shores…

It’s a great time to go to the Ocean Shores!  Unforgettable beaches are just a short drive away, and this unique community offers the perfect beach vacation destination where sand, surf, nature, great food, festivals, rounds of golf, and family entertainment all await.

Love the water?  At the north jetty you can watch the waves crash over the rocks.  Nestled along the shore you’ll find starfish and crabs tucked away from the waves.  Along the Pacific Ocean – a vast sandy beach is great for fishing, clam digging, swimming and enjoying the evening around a crackling firepit.  You can drive right out on the sand and spend the day flying kites or simply sit back and watch the waves roll in. There are also 23 miles of fresh waterways that weave their way throughout the city.  You’ll see tourists and locals alike paddle boarding, kayaking and taking out their party boats to enjoy the afternoons.  Two wonderful lakes have public boat launches.

Desiring a perfect family vacation destination? If you’re looking for a family vacation – we’ve got you covered.  There is miniature golf, go karts, bumper boats and bumper cars.  You can rent fat tire bikes and head out to the beach.  Top that off with burgers, fish and chips, ice cream – and your day is complete.  

Looking for a romantic get-away for two?  Our hotels feature beautiful condo-style rooms with ocean views.  Dining choices range from good old-fashioned barbecue to pizza and wings to fine dining with sushi, steaks and lobster tails all on the menu.  And of course – you can get local razor clams at many of our restaurants.

Wanting to get back to nature? Nature enthusiasts will enjoy hiking through the city’s wildlife recreation areas and trails.  You are guaranteed deer sightings in Ocean Shores, bird watchers will see eagles, hawks, and owls, and tourists can enjoy the many other forms of wildlife that inhabit the city.

Seeking entertainment? The golf course is a great place to spend some time.  As one of the Pacific Northwest’s most unique golf settings, the course is challenging yet fun to play. You will find that the course offers both the openness of a links-style course and the challenges of a narrow, wooded course. There’s plenty of shopping in the quaint downtown along with an old-time style arcade, a bowling alley, and a recently renovated movie theater.  From vintage shops and antiques to home décor and souvenirs to large festivals at the Ocean Shores Convention Center there’s literally something for everyone.

Come join us in unforgettable Grays Harbor for the magical experience that is Ocean Shores!
