The Pacific Northwest is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, and Ocean Shores is no exception. The Washington coast town is one of the most visited seaside destinations in the state for a reason. Enjoy the perfect beachfront vacation by booking your stay at The Polynesian Resort. One of the best ways to explore the picturesque Ocean Shores sights on your next visit is horseback riding.

A Guide to Local Washington Horseback Riding Services

Horseback riding is one of those activities you don’t need any previous experience to enjoy. The guides of these local Ocean Shores businesses will make sure you’re comfortable in the saddle before heading out on a memorable adventure.

  •  If you’re brand new to horseback riding and looking for more of a lesson than a trail ride, check out Nansea Stables. Reserve a one-hour Western or English lesson led by qualified instructors. They also offer a 20-minute lead-around for children not old enough for lessons.
  • Go for a ride along the beach with Honey Pearl Ranch. Rides start at 10 a.m., with the last one setting out between 4 and 5 p.m. This option does not accept reservations unless you are riding with a large group. 
  • Keep your eyes open for all kinds of wildlife on your ride with Chenois Creek Horse Rentals. Outings last about an hour and take you along the sandy shoreline. No need to make reservations, as rides are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

When choosing your excursion, be sure to check for things like age and weight restrictions.
