If fishing and clamming is more your speed, you have several options. Areas of Damon Point, Oyhut Wildlife area, and Bottle Beach/Ocosta on the opposite side of Grays Harbor are great clamming locations. Always consult the Washington Shellfish Safety Map before harvesting shellfish to be sure harvesting is legal and safe.
Chinook and Coho salmon fishing in Grays Harbor is especially good in the summertime. If you are without a boat, Westport Jetty provides a great option for fishing as well as great views across the water. Lingcod and rockfish can be caught just off the jetty. Check out Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife for more details on fishing locations in the area.
Another option for anglers without a boat is to catch a fishing charter. Since it is such a great fishing location, there are many charter options for you leaving out of Westport. If you opt for the charter, don’t forget to enter the fishing derby. Over $60,000 in prizes are awarded each season.
