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.

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.
