Enjoy the view from shore

The North Jetty is a place to appreciate the scale and energy of the coast. Make it a short scenic stop or bring your camera and watch the changing water and seabirds from a safe shore-side location.

Before you go

Explore the south end

Three different ways to experience the coast, all around the southern tip of Ocean Shores.

The Tidal House logo marks your home base farther north on the peninsula.

  1. Damon Point
    The sandy point extending southeast into Grays Harbor.
  2. Oyhut Wildlife Area
    Coastal habitat between the residential streets and the bay.
  3. North Jetty
    The southwest tip, facing the Pacific and harbor entrance.

Markers show approximate areas, not trailheads or walking routes. Check each guide and posted signs for current access.

You do not need to climb the jetty rocks to enjoy the view. Stay off slippery rocks and wave-washed areas, keep children close, and skip exposed viewpoints during rough conditions. Consult the visitor guide and posted warnings before exploring.
