About Griffiths-Priday State Park

Griffiths-Priday sits where the Copalis River reaches the Pacific coast in Grays Harbor County. Visitors can picnic at a first-come shelter, stroll through the dunes to a sandy beach, or fish in saltwater and freshwater. Clamming is allowed during open season. The adjacent Copalis Spit and national wildlife refuge draw migratory birds, and the park is a common stop for birdwatchers. Vehicle access to the beach is currently closed because of road erosion, and coastal wind advisories can apply, so check conditions before heading out.
