You’ll Need The Whole Weekend To Explore All 581 Acres Of Grayland Beach State Park In Washington

There are around 100 state parks here in Washington, which should come as no surprise as most of our population is smitten with our state's rugged natural beauty. And while some of our parks are best seen in the summer, we've got plenty of beautiful places you can visit any time of year. And if you happen to be visiting Grayland Beach State Park, we recommend you make a weekend of it to explore every acre.

Grayland Beach State Park is a 581-acre year-round marine camping park that's located just south of the small town of Grayland.

Grayland sits in Grays Harbor County about six miles south of Westport.

This rugged park is a true hidden gem, and it offers something for everyone.

The park attracts kite flyers, bird watchers, campers, and Washingtonians who just need to spend some time at the beach.

Grayland Beach State Park is best known for its 7,449 feet of stunning ocean frontage.

And while it's often fairly full of visitors in the summer, you can always find peace and quiet here, especially in the off-season.

In addition to oceanfront land, you can wander through grassy dunes to a quiet, secluded campground.

Camping by the beach is a pretty amazing experience.

The campground here offers 55 full-hookup sites, 38 partial-hookup sites, four standard sites, and a few yurts.

This is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day spent at the beach. And although it does get cold here, camping reservations are accepted all year.

Popular activities at the park include fishing, clamming, and crabbing.

And while the nature trails only cover about 0.6 miles of ground, they still provide a perfect place for a seaside stroll.

Grayland Beach State Park is a coastal treasure.

Check it out the next time you're in the area. And bring your camping gear if the weather permits.
