Ocean Park, WA 98640 · Ocean Park, WA
This roughly 10-acre Washington state park sits just north of Ocean Park on the Long Beach Peninsula. Visitors reach the sand through a shaded grove of pines, then find room for beach play, bird watching, fishing, clamming, and sunsets. The park is for day use only, with a few picnic tables, one restroom, and a grill. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and fires are limited to designated areas. Ocean currents and drifting logs can be hazardous, and fishing or shellfish harvesting requires a state recreational license.
