About Bottle Beach State Park

Bottle Beach State Park covers mostly tidal mudflats on the southern side of Grays Harbor in Washington. Its open flats draw enormous numbers of migrating shorebirds and seabirds in spring, and more than 130 bird species, including raptors, have been recorded stopping to feed there. Visitors can walk a short accessible interpretive trail with wildlife viewing platforms and enjoy birdwatching, hiking, and beach exploration. Dogs and fires are not permitted, and trails are for pedestrians only.
