This region surrounding Grays Harbor offers miles of interconnecting fresh water lakes and canals and long stretches of sandy ocean beaches suitable for beach getaways, fishing, water sports and other recreational activities. Hoquiam, Aberdeen and Ocean Shores lie north of Grays Harbor, with Westport, Grayland and Tokeland south of the harbor. There are nine state parks between Grayland and Pacific Beach, including four with camp sites, each with its own special attractions. The Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge at Hoquiam is a major stopover for hundreds of thousands of shorebirds to rest and feed during their migrations, offering excellent opportunities to observe and photograph these birds.
