The state of Washington gets a lot of attention for its mountains, but a whole new world awaits exploration on the coast. Below the peninsula, two large bays and the mouth of the Columbia River create an exciting seaboard full of state parks, small resort towns and ocean-side highways. Washington Coast vacation rentals have a secluded feel, yet lie so close to Seattle, Portland and Vancouver. Sandy beaches alternate with rugged bluffs and rocky promontories. Eagles fly overhead while whales and seals swim in the ocean.
The town of Ocean Shores has miniature golf, bowling, Grays Harbor boat rides and other fun activities. On the Willapa Bay, Tokeland Restaurant serves up delectable Pacific Northwest dishes like salmon for dinner and blueberry pancakes for breakfast.
