Grays Harbor Travel Information
From the pounding of the mighty Pacific to the hushed stillness of the
only temperate rain forest in the continental United States, the
sights and sounds found throughout Grays Harbor County are truly
unique. With pristine ocean beaches, awe-inspiring trees, a scenic
harbor and
the famous Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula, the region
is a destination that can entertain for a weekend or a month.
Grays Harbor offers a variety of getaways appealing to all age groups.
Families will find an abundance of activities. Beachcombing,
kite-flying and building sandcastles compete with bumper boat rides,
mini-golf and arcade play. Many of the towns offer a variety of
seasonal or holiday activities with a small-town flair, from Fourth of
July fireworks to Christmas light show spectaculars.
Extreme sports enthusiasts will thrill to catching a wave at Westport
or kayaking in the many rivers throughout the region. There’s also a
skateboard park for amateurs and experts. Music festivals feature
jazz, bluegrass and folk. In season, everyone
enjoys digging for their limit of the area delicacy: razor clams.
Golfers find the area ideal for perfecting their drive, even in the
often temperate winter months. Shoppers can explore the numerous gift

storm-watching or reading
in front of a cozy fire are two favorite pastimes in the quiet
offseason.
