Getting There

  Grayland Beach is located on Washington’s coast and is fairly easy to get to. From I-5, take exit 104 onto US-101 toward Aberdeen. After about six miles, take WA-8 toward Aberdeen. After 21 miles, this becomes US-12, which you stay on for another 21 miles. Turn left when you get to South H Street in Aberdeen. This will put you back onto US-101, which will become WA-105 very quickly. After 18 miles, turn left to remain on WA-105, and after three and a half more miles, you’ll turn left on Cranberry Road. This drops you right into Grayland Beach State Park.

Things to Do

• The Grayland area has miles of beaches to explore in your free time.boardwalk image by JLycke from Fotolia.com
  
  Because it is so small, the town of Grayland itself is mostly set up for the residents. Tourists will find much more to do in the neighboring town of Westport. It offers a two-mile oceanside boardwalk called the Harbor Walkway that is filled with candy stores, gift shops and restaurants. You can also visit Gray’s Harbor Lighthouse, the Westport Aquarium or enjoy some relaxation on the beach.
  
  

Places to Eat

• Visit Anthony's in Westport to sample Washington state's local cuisine.seafood image by agno_agnus from Fotolia.com
  
  Westport’s Island Resort has a restaurant just off Harbor Walkway called the Half Moon Bay Bar and Grill. There is also a greasy-spoon diner called Westwind that offers very affordable breakfasts, lunches and dinners. If you’re in the mood for fresh and local seafood, Westport is also home to one Washington state’s Anthony’s restaurants. Or, if you just need a quick bite to eat, you can pick up a sandwich at the Mermaid Deli.
  
  

Best Times to Go

• Summers in Grayland are warm and breezy, and the sun comes out often.sandy beach scene on pensacola beach image by Edward Cooper from Fotolia.com
  
  The coast of Washington state can be pretty chilly and wet during the winter months, but if you’re willing to tough it out, you’ll save yourself a few dollars in RV park fees. If money is no object (and really, it’s only a difference of a few dollars a day), the best times to camp near Grayland are from April to September. During the spring, you may still have some fairly cold nights, but the weather is relatively tame. The summers are generally sunny and mild, and you’ll find several activities in Westport from June to August when tourism is at its peak.
