Clam Digging

It’s not just about getting the delicious razor clams but it’s very much about the experience shared with family and friends. Some of my fondest childhood memories are going clam digging as a family. There’s a bit of a sport to it ….. razor clams are FAST…..yes that’s right FAST. We continue this family tradition and continue to introduce new friends to fun activity. Homemade clamchowder…….yum!

Westport Viewing Tower
Going to Westport, WA and not climbing the Viewing Tower is like going to Pisa, Italy and not seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Take in Grays Harbor, the bar, the bay, the boat basin, and even the snowy Olympics - the view never disappoints!!!  There's even a webcam on the tower.
