Visit Westport and the South Beach

WESTPORT

Westport and Grayland form the South Beach - the area of
sandy ocean beaches south of the Grays Harbor mouth.
Westport has the principal marina in the area, where you can
hire charter boats for ocean fishing, bottom fishing,
whalewatching, harbor cruises, and ocean-going seabird
viewing. A three storey high, blue watchtower at the north
end of town gives views of the marina, harbor, south jetty,
and distant Ocean Shores. The Westport Maritime Museum
is housed in the 1939 Coast Guard Lifeboat Station. This
museum feature three superlative attractions: the museum
building itself, two whale skeletons displayed outside, and
the surpassingly beautiful Fresnel lens from the Destruction
Island ligthhouse. At the south end of town stands the Grays
Harbor Lighthouse - tallest in Washington state and built in
the 1890s.

Pacific Grey whales migrate between Mexico's Baja bay and
the Bering and Chukchi seas off of Alaska. They pass by
Grays Harbor in the northbound direction in the spring from
March to May, which is when whalewatching tour boats are
available.

Westhaven State Park directly west of Westport is the top
surfing destination in Washington state. Its beach is lined by
crumbling sand cliffs and tucked just under the South Jetty.

From the South Jetty I watched a flock of small pelicans fly
by. I didn't know we had pelicans in Washington until that
moment.
