Washington Parks: Ocean City Beach Access Area

Candy Lowery

A different beach than what I grew up with in the south. I saw lots of kites, heavy fog, and horseback riding. I'm in love and proud to live in PNW. Also great place to take our drone

Good spot to drive out onto the beach. Can't turn right between April and labor day. If you want to enjoy the beach without cars driving by that's a pretty good spot. If that area is full drive a few miles north to copalis and you can walk to the beach from there

When it comes to surf perch fishing, this area by far takes the cake (when the fishing is on). It has been a little hit and miss as of lately, but when the surf perch are biting, boy are they biting. The beach itself is beautiful but tends to be on the cold side. If you plan on visiting this location, bring a jacket and some spare clothes. Also, be advised, there will be sand everywhere in your car, on your clothes, on your shoes, on your everything upon going to this location. I was just about able to make a sandcastle in my own car by the time I was done at this location. The humidity at this location can also be extremely high. The inside of your vehicle may get absolutely saturated with salt water if you are not careful. It also tends to be extremely foggy and drizzly at this location at any point during the year. It could be in the middle of August and be in the low 50s and drizzling. So don't expect this to be a Southern California style beach; this is the Pacific Northwest after all! I literally had to spend $80 afterwards in detailing to get all the sand and detritus from the beach out of my car. But, the experience is well worth it if you are willing to do it. I could think of no better place to kill time on the beach and do some epic fishing. My son caught himself a fantastic Pacific sole that we had as fish and chips.

Great experience driving on the beach. We came on Sunday, during the heat wave in Seattle, and the cool ocean breeze was just what we needed. There was a lot of people on the beach but for the most part it was orderly.
