Ocean Shores Vacation Rentals

Rent a cozy, clapboard cottage in Ocean Shores, Washington. When you want a little adventure on your vacation, nature is right outside your door of this secluded peninsula.

Birdwatching on Damon Point

Head out to Damon Point to watch for owls, pipers, loons, and more. If you're lucky, you might catch a snowy owl swooping across the coastal sky. While watching for birds, keep your eyes out for seals and breaching whales.

This area is also known for its sea shells, sea glass, and agates. Walk along the beach and search for the colorful treasures in the sand. The best time to look is right after a high tide, because the ocean rushing in and out deposits many gems in the sand.

A day out with the kids

In case you need help explaining everything you're seeing on your coastal vacation, take the kids to the Coastal Interpretive Center. Here they can learn about the local flora and fauna, as well as the Native Americans who once inhabited Ocean Shores from excavated artifacts.

Show your children how beautiful something as simple as a piece of wood can be after it has been exposed to the ocean's waves over many years. Kids can also learn what used to live in the shells they find along the shore.

Experience the wild Pacific ocean

Visit Ocean Shores North Jetty to experience just how wild the Pacific Ocean can be. A jetty is used to decrease the ocean's effect on the shore behind it, and this is what the North Jetty does for Ocean Shore - and it is spectacular.

Take some time away from your cozy vacation home and experience all the excitement of the ocean. Grab a seat on a driftwood log, build a campfire, and watch as the water crashes on the rocks while listening to the roar of the waves.
