Park features Ocean City State Park is a year-round, acre camping park, featuring ocean beach, dunes and dense thickets of shore pine.
Ocean Shores, Washington is a funky beachfront town perched on a narrow peninsula that juts out of the southwest corner of the state.
Ocean Shores is an eclectic little town with local art galleries, surf shops and kite stores wedged into s style strip malls alongside nail saloons and sports bars. This time of year the town emits a sleepy, tired feel.
Not a lot going on as tourist season comes to an end. But the endless stretches of sandy beach that draw in the visitors are still fantastic even as the cold weather looms.
At the end of September the fog is dense and the temperature so low that you need a thick sweater to walk the shore, but the enticing beauty of this place remains. In short, what you get here is nothing more than a dirt parking lot divided into narrow sites with water-logged picnic tables and rusty fire rings. Away from the water, the beach is filled with soft yellowing dune grass with driftwood logs strewn about.
Closer to the surf the sand is fine and the beach is wide and flat with bits of shells scattered among the seaweed. Phineas enjoyed darting in and out of the waves. We walked to the end of the beach where a flock of pelicans floated just off shore occasionally diving under to snag a fish or two. Much to my delight we also spotted some seals frolicking around in the surf.
None came close enough to get a good picture, but I swear one of them was looking right at us as he bobbed his cute little head above water. A family shot minus Phineas who darted away to sniff a rock before the automatic timer went off on the camera. Someone spent quite a bit of time building this driftwood fort. Every year we have people park their vehicle at low tide, unaware that the tide is coming in as they go for a long walk down the beach or they walk to the closed area to spend the day.
And when they return to their vehicle they find that it is now in the water. Copy and paste this code into your website. Share this page on your favorite Social network Facebook.
