If you grew up anywhere near the Washington coast, looking for sand dollars and seashells on the beach was probably a childhood pastime. Luckily, it’s something you never grow out of, and we’ve got several stretches of shoreline that are still perfect for it. Ocean Shores’ North Jetty is one of them.
The North Jetty sits at the southern end of the Ocean Shores peninsula, serving as the northern entrance to Grays Harbor.

The jetty was constructed over 9 years and completed in 1916.
