5 Hidden Gems in the City of Ocean Shores, WA
When you’re finished with 18 holes of golf or a shopping spree around town, set off for a day of exploring and finding the activities not everyone who comes to Ocean Shores may know about.
- Damon Point is one of the best places in the area to view wildlife and hike in North Beach. On sunny days, you’ll be able to see Mount Rainier. Make sure to bring your binoculars in case you’re lucky enough to spot bald eagles that like to frequent this area.
- Fly a kite, dig for shellfish, or wade into freshwater at Griffiths-Priday State Park. Explore the walking trails on your way to a quiet day at the beach.
- Hike the Weatherwax Trail, which will take you through the Weatherwax Preserve and along Duck Lake. This trail is relatively flat, so it’s perfect if you are visiting with younger children. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife that calls the area home.
- Indulge your sweet tooth when you visit Peppermint Parlor. Located next to Playtime Family Fun, try some delicious ice cream, donuts, pretzels, or mini donuts.
- As you’re wandering around Ocean Shores, make sure to check off photo landmarks like the Ocean Shores Gates when you enter the town, and the shark head you walk through at Sharky’s.
