Ocean Shores, Washington - A Family Resort

Ocean Shores Washington – A Family Resort.
Ocean Shores, Washington began as a highly touted real estate development, but over the years it has settled into a fine family resort town on the central coast of Washington State.
The 6,000 acre peninsula is just 75 miles west of the state capitol of Olympia and only 132 miles to Seattle and 165 miles to Portland Oregon. Ocean Shores is Washington’s most visited seaside destination.
This recreational paradise offers 6 miles of accessible sandy beaches completely open to the public, a 5-mile fresh water lake with 23 miles of interconnecting canals, community club with an indoor swimming pool, 6 parks with 2 outdoor swimming pools, hotels, restaurants, shops, 18-hole championship golf course & driving range, small airport and several Washington state parks nearby. All properties feature water, sewer and power in the streets
The ocean is cold and the riptides are legendary, as are the 12 foot tidal surges that typically sweep the shore in July and December. The dramatic seascape is incredible, particularly during winter storms and, even though swimming is out, beachcombing is most definitely in at any time of the year. This is the place for bird-watching, and for collecting agates and sand dollars.
Ocean Shore’s other claim to fame is the Vegas-style Quinault Casino, compliments of the northwest Indian tribes indigenous to the area, it offers not just another casino, but a full-fledged Ocean Shores hotel with a family-friendly resort atmosphere, spa, several dining options and some of the best live entertainment offered in western Washington.
Olympic National Park and the Rain Forest is just a day trip away, making Ocean Shores the ideal headquarters for your road trip to the Pacific Northwest.
