(Westport, Washington) – Along the central Washington coast, where the world can get both extremely calm and excessively dramatic, there is one stretch near the paradoxically sleepy yet chaotic village of Westport that typifies this beachy dichotomy. Grayland Beach State Park is a delightful mix of these diverse elements, with a massive layout and a bundle of other cajoling discoveries. (Photo above courtesy Washington Department of Ecology).

A vast and sprawling beach, Grayland Beach is extremely wide with enormous amounts of space between the vegetation line and the tideline. From north to south, this flat beach goes on for miles and miles, blending in with other state parks to the north and south, as well as into Westport’s sands.
