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.

Playtime Family Fun

Reviewed By RachelleLay - Oregon City, United States

No one would ever know this place has the most high tech gaming system on the Washington Coast. My teenagers were drooling over it. We came last week of March so the go carts were not going yet. But theassive amount of Ice Cream flavors hit the spot. If you are staying in Ocean Shores and your boys or teens are bored out of their mind this is the place to come. Not much to do in this quiet little town, but now you know where all the action is happening.

Weatherwax Trail

Reviewed By 719hansk

This is a short easy walk thru a wetland forest. There is very little elevation gain and the trail was very well maintained. There was a group of deer at the trailhead that came right up to you. They were looking for a handout I suspect, but we didn't give them one.

Chenois Creek Horse Ranch

Reviewed By shanelynne - Oak Harbor, United States

We found them easily. Just go past Best Western Lighthouse out to the beach. We parked on the sand and the horses were on the beach. You will see the horse trailers. We came at 11:30 and we placed on the next ride- just a 20 minute wait. They don’t take credit cards so cash is needed. It was $20 for the hour ride. Thought that was good value. They say they don’t take reservations so I would suggest going early - they open at ten. There were 19 people on our ride with four guides. The guides helped select our horses in timely manner. As we rode there were two guides in front and two in the back. The guides were very alert and checked in with the riders often. I was impressed how they kept us all together and the horses in control. The horses were so sweet. They knew exactly what to do and you need very little experience with the reigns because the horses know the routine. There were four of us in our family and we all loved our horses. My teens were thrilled and has a blast. Very pleased with this and recommend the company.
