From the moment you arrive at The Polynesian Resort, you won’t have any trouble feeling the stress of everyday life melt away. Our Ocean Shores resort is not only steps away from the beach, but some of the best activities found along the Washington coast. Start each day with a caffeine boost from a local coffee shop before exploring nearby state parks or hiking trails. The best way to end every day is by watching a breathtaking sunset from some of the best viewing spots in Ocean Shores.

A Guide to the Best Spots for a Washington Sunset

With so much to do and see during your Ocean Shores getaway, it can be hard to sometimes enjoy the slower pace of a vacation. One of the best ways to take a breather from bouncing from adventure to adventure is by watching the sun sink into the horizon. There are plenty of fantastic spots to catch a sunset, so you can pick a new location every night.

  • Listen to the waves roll in at the North Jetty, which is found on the southern end of Ocean Shores. Bring your blanket, supplies for a fire and s’mores, and relax. If you have a fire on the beach, be sure to follow city rules.
  • Just five minutes from the resort is Ocean City State Park. Enjoy a walk along the beach or do a bit of birding before watching the sunset. You can drive on the beach during most seasons, which means you won’t have to haul all your stuff from the parking lot.
  • Another popular park to catch the sunset is Griffiths-Priday State Park. The 533-acre features both river and ocean coastline to relax by as you see the sky painted with red and orange hues.

Of course, one of the best spots to see the sunset is right on our oceanfront property. Whether you’re out at our private park or the beach right in front of the resort, you are just steps from incredible views. Before setting off on your sunset adventure, grab a bite to eat at the Rusty Anchor Grill & Pub, our delicious onsite restaurant.
