Westport, Washington: Quaint Coastal Town with Rugged Natural Beauty

In the coastal town of Westport, docks bustle with the activity of commercial and chartered fishing vessels. Crowds often gather at the marina’s observation tower for bird’s-eye views of the boaters on Grays Harbor, Half Moon Bay, and North and South Bays. The marina district is also home to a number of small coffee shops and artisan boutiques.

You can spot wildlife here—cormorants and herons make their seasonal homes in the state wildlife preserves surrounding the town, and bald eagles are often seen gliding over the beach. Down the coast, surfers catch waves year-round; to join them, you can rent gear from one of the small shops nearby.
