Summer at the Beach: Day Trip to Westport, WA
July 18, 2016
Westport, Washington
What is summer without at least a few days at a beach? My husband and I took a day trip from Seattle to Westport, Washington. The Pacific Coast is about a 3-hour drive from our home in the city. Hours at the beach and nothing to do but watch the waves and clouds, settle down with a good book, enjoy the parade of families and dogs and surfers frolicking in the water, listen to the rhythmic pounding of the breakers and waves lapping at the shore — quintessential summer. My husband brought back enough fish for supper. I brought back a few patches of sunburn (yes, I burn even under cloudy skies) and a few good photos.
I do love our ocean beaches.

about how warm is the water?

I’ve read that it is usually between 55 and 60-degrees F. The surfers were all wearing wet suits.

The dune path photo’s especially nice.

Westport looks amazing. Great photos! We’ve been there for the day but not stayed overnight before. I think that’s going to change.
