If you're spending any time at all in Ocean Shores, you should be sure to stop in at the Coastal Interpretive Center. Staffed by knowledgeable volunteers, the Center is a mini natural history museum, its rooms filled with specimens of the local wildlife. Here you will learn about the mammals, birds, insects and also shells, rocks and geological formations of the peninsula. There's a good exhibit on the Quinault Nation as well. It doesn't take a lot of time to tour the Center, but it's worth it - you will be so much more informed as you go out beach combing afterwards.

We stopped to walk along the jetty and enjoy the beach. The massive rocks protect the entrance to the harbor, and we ended watching the waves crash against them. The broad sandy beach is popular and busy with picnics, kite fliers, and surfers.

We went in April during the week. There was only a few people there, so we sort of had the beach to ourselves. It was peaceful and at low tide it was great fun exploring around the rocks looking for anemones. They look like they are from another planet. Also great for kite flying.

Elk Head Brewery

Reviewed By SouthEndMCgang - Seattle, United States

This taproom is certainly worth the search. Located in the back lot of a small strip mall just kitty corner from the Ocean Shores Convention Center is this small/tidy taproom with a FULL POUR of several brews we tested several but landed on an yummy IPA. Free baskets of pretzels and cheap peanuts and other savory snacks to clean the palate. You have got to try the Jalapeno...but you had better match it with another selection to douse the flames. Funky place...now you know what the locals know.

Affordable Mopeds

Reviewed By eileenr1258 - Washington, United States

What a great place! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. The guy who got us on the road with the mopeds was thorough and patient, a natural teacher. They have everything you need to hit the road, helmets, gloves and glasses, as well as the education, and all included in the cost of the rental. My gloves were brand new and I had to remove the packaging. The owner even gave us tips on riding the bikes on the beach. We will definitely go back! Thanks for a fun afternoon!

So whether you need to keep presentations on-point, make keynote speakers more audible, or really get the dance floor grooving, Ocean Shores Convention Center can make it happen, and all within the comfort of wi-fi.
