Things to Do in Ocean Park, WA

Ocean Park, Washington is in the middle of the Washington peninsula, and as such, it makes for the perfect secluded vacation town. Because it's so far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, people retreat here when they want a few days to clear their minds.

While you may just want to spend your days relaxing in our cute cottages or vibing on the beach, there are plenty of attractions to keep you busy in between your wind-down time. The activities on offer are perfect for someone who likes to explore their surroundings, discover new things, and embrace the peaceful, mildly-paced lifestyle of a cottage town.

Clam Digging

There isn't necessarily a clam season, but some months may be more fruitful than others when it comes to clam digging. The best time of day to clam dig is a couple of hours before low tide, which ranges day by day. You may also read up on the latest clam digging news.

Razor Clams are highly sought after. Make sure you bring your necessary clam digging equipment so you can do the job right, the gear should be placed in an accessible spot when you head to the beach.

Keep up with any regulations imposed by the Washington State government so you can collect the right amount of interesting creatures. Anyone 15 or older must have a clam digging license. You'll find one of those through the government website.

Loomis Lake State Park

This cute lake on the peninsula is a great place to go swimming, fishing, or kayaking. Some people may not understand the appeal of doing these things when the ocean is just minutes away, but there are some good reasons people might like Loomis Lake better.

Because it's a lake, there aren't strong waves like the ones you find in the ocean. Additionally, fishermen who don't have equipment for ocean fishing may have fishing poles and bait that work better for lake fishing.
