Getting in

Shore access, walk in off the sand

Best conditions

Washington State Parks calls this a popular surfing destination, with surf lessons in the park for first-timers; under its old Westhaven listing the same shoreline fronted both the open Pacific and Half Moon Bay along the South Jetty.

Getting through the gate

A Discover Pass is required to park, $10 for a day or $45 for the year, sold at the pay station. The state posts seasonal closures and shorter winter hours on its winter schedule page.

Parking

On-site lots with an automated pay station for the Discover Pass.

Protection

Washington State Parks now lists this shoreline under Westport Light State Park, a day-use park run by the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission; the separate Westhaven State Park listing is gone from the state site.

On site

restrooms, rinse showers, parking lot

Watch for

The state's page for this shore advised against ocean swimming outright, citing variable currents and rip tides, Cold water in every season: the state's cold-water guidance flags anything under 60 F and says many Washington waterways stay below that most of the year
